OBITUARY.
MRS MICHAEL O'BRIEN.
Residents of Christchurch and theWest Coast will hear with profound re-gret of the death, which occurred yes-terday at her home in Bealey avenue,of Mrs Bridget Anne O'Brien, widow ofMr Michael O'Brien, formerly one ofthe best-known manufacturers andbusiness men of Christchurch.
Mrs O'Brien was born in CountyClare, Ireland, in 1844. As a youngwoman she came to Melbourne, whereshe was married in 1868 to Mr O'Brienwho had arrived in Australia fromIrelandin 1861. Immediately after theirmarriage Mr and Mrs O'Brien left forNew Zealand, settling in Greymouth,where they remained for sixteen years.
In 1884 the family moved to Christ-church, where Mr O'Brien establishedhis well-known boot manufacturingbusiness, now carried on in Dundasstreet. The firm at one time also actedas New Zealand agents for Eemingtonbicycles.
Mr and Mrs O'Brien had a family ofeleven children, many of whom wereprominent in musical and footballcircles in the City. The late Mr J. M.O'Brien was a representative footballerfrom 1893 to 1897, and the late Mr P.O'Brien from 1899 to 1902. Dr. A. B.O'Brien, while studying medicine inEngland, played for Guy's Hospital andfor England, and* was manager of theBritish football team that toured NewZealand in 1908.
Mrs O'Brien was a woman of greatnobility of character, charming, digni-fied, hospitable, and of an endearingcharity. During her long life she ex-perienced more than- her share of sor-row, her husband and nine of her chil-dren having predeceased her. But herfaith and fortitude never failed, andshe remained to the end kindly, serene,and patient.
She is survived by one son, Dr. A. B.O'Brien, one daughter, Mrs A. E. Mills,of Wellington, and fourteen grand-children.

LECTURE AT WOMEN'SCLUB.
At the Canterbury: Women's Club
last night, Miss Ironside, delivered an
excellent address, interesting and
thoughtful, on "Developments in Mod-
ern Drama from Early Mystery Plays.
The educational value of drama, the
speaker said, was one of the greatestre-diseoveries of modern days. Even at
the beginning of the present century,
See on moral character had practic-ally disappeared, and because of the
great vitality of present-day drama andbecause of the awakened interest in it,the drama was being used as a propa-ganda medium. In the flood of moderndramatic work, the amount of sacreddrama produced was impressive, and
reminiscent of the close alliance thatexisted between the Church anddramatic art in mediaeval days.
Miss Ironside then traced the historyof drama from its origin,.one root ofwhich, in the case of English drama,lay in folk-lore, and the other in theChurch. She dealt first with the mys-tery plays, adapted from the liturgicalservice of the Church, and used to teachthe people, few of whom could read,Scriptural history. The clergy at firstenacted the plays, the earliest exampleextant being a dramatic extension of theMass written at St. Gallen in 900 A.D.Then was evolved the Miracle Play,based on incidents in the Lives of theSaints. This type of play was .first in-troduced in the reign of Edward 111.,and there are many collections of themstill extant. To lighten tho serious-ness of these plays, interludes were in-troduced to provide secular and comicelements. Probably the comic elementwas overdone, and in 1574, these playswere forbiddenboth in the churches andthe churchyards. The control of thedrama then passed to the trades guilds.
The next stage was the MoralityPlay, in which the characters were ab-stract virtues and vices. To Vice wasalways entrusted the comic relief, andthis character was evolved into theclown or jester of Shakespearean drama.In the days of the Reformation con-troversial morality plays were popular,two outstanding dramatists of thisperiod being Bishop Bale and Sir DavidLindsay.
Passing over the period of dramaticdecadence in the nineteenth century,Miss Ironside summarised the "sur-vivals" and "revivals" of the presentday. The former included f e mum-mer's plays mentioned by Hardy, andthe Passion Piay at Obcrammergau,which had. been played for four cen-turies in fulfilment of a vow made in1634, during-a time of pestilence, to
perform the play once every ten years
in honour of tho sufferings of Christ.The village was freed from pestilence*after the first performance.
Revivals include the staging of theold cycle plays in schools and churchesin England, and of "Everyman" at theOld Vic Theatre in London, and inAmerica. Propaganda religious dramasinclude Sutton Vane's "Overture" and"Outward Bound," Masefield's "GoodFriday" and "The Trial of Jesus,"P. C."Palmer's "Pilate," Geoffrey Whitworth'sone-act play, "Father Noah," Miss Buck-ton's works written "to the glory ofGod in the service of life," BernardShaw's episodic play "St. Joan," andLawrence Binyon's "Arthur."
Miss Ironside concluded with thewords of Tehekhov: "The theatre, evenin its present state, is higher than uni-versities, books, than anything in theworld . .
.. No art and no science
individually is able, like the stage, sostrongly and surely to affect the humansoul."
After the vote of thanks to Miss Iron-side had been carried with prolongedapplause, a Christmas interlude, "TheMeeting in the Gate,",by Miss A. M.Buckton, was Vead by Miss Menzies,Misß Grand, Mrs Wyatt, Miss Cant; MissMaud Caygill, Miss Batchelor, Miss Hall,Mrs Bradley, and Lawrence Housman's"Sister Gold" by Mrs McLeod, MissGill, Mrs Wyatt, Miss Blackham, MrsAndrew, Miss Mabel Caygill, MissSpcnce, and Mrs Smail.

ARBITRATIONCOURT.
NEW AWARD ASKED.
FREEZING WORKS EMPLOYEES.
Following an effort to come to amutual understanding in the Concilia-tion Council and the failure to do bo
on some points, the remaining mattersin dispute were brought before the Arbi-
tration : Court yesterday, when the Can-
terbury Freezing Works and BelatedTrades Union and Messrs Kempthorne,Prosser and Co., the New Zealand DrugCompany, E. Patrick and Co., the
Superbus Packing Co., and the ZealandiaSoap and Candle Co. were cited.
Mr H. C. Beveil appeared,for theunion and Mr D. I.Macdouald for theemployers.
The matters heard in the morning re-
lated to a proposed.new award, details,of which were before "the. Court. , pne;point raised by the union was that the.company had the right to.work men Mhours on Saturdays and were keepingsome; of them there until' 1 o'clock, onSaturdays. This meant the men's after-,noon* were wasted. The main pointsasked for were an advance of 4Jd anhour and a definition as to whatclothes should be provided by the com-pany. •'
"
'George Dearman said ho had been
employed by Messrs Kempthorne, Pros-ser and Co. for eight years. Since theeoming in of the last award more menhad been laid off and for largerperiods. The men had put this downto a change in the management. Thedismissal of men owing to the intro-duction of machinery was a very im-portant matter. It meant starvation forthose who were put out and while itmight be. supposed the men workingthe machines would get more they werestill being paid the same wages as be-fore. Before the introduction of themachinery 21 men were employed inthe department and now there wereonly seven, which represented a savingof £52 12s 6d per week to the com-pany. Under the new system men hadto handle barrows that weighed , 2Jcwtand in ; which 3scwt of superphosphatewas placed. Under the old system, whenthey worked with smaller barrows thetotal weight of barrow, and load wasabout 2scwt.
' Addressing the Court, tho witnesssaid that one of tho things the menwere complaining of was that in 1928the company had distributed £53,000 inbonus shares, which equalled over £ 1000a week, and yet they were saying theycould not afford to pay 52 men an extra4Jd per hour.
The Court: Yes, but we could hardlymake different rates for every com-pany in';accordance with whether theywere doing well or not.' Witness: No, I quite understand
that. : '■■ •The' Court: AlL.we can do is to hear
the evidence and assess the value of thework. 1
David Bitchie, employed by the samecompany, produced various articles ofclothing showing the damage done bythe acids in the department in which heworked. ' .$. \
Several other witnesses were calledby the union, ajl of whom corroboratedthe previous statement.
The Employers' Case.Mr McDonald, in stating the case
for the employers, said this was thethird dispute since 1925. As the resultof a previous dispute the' men had beengranted an increase. . One and two-pence had been granted the manuallabourers to compensate them for the\unpleasantness of their work. Sincethat time there had been a-slight de-crease in the. cost of living in Christ-church.
Keferring to the matter of the in-,stallation of the digging,machines, MrMcDonald said that' since these hadbeen introduced, the.company-'had em-:ployed an average of two or three morepermanent men for the whole works.
There was also the fact that since thelast award competition had be-come much keener and costs had alsorisen.
A special system of dnst collectionhad been installed in the crushing de-partment and this was collecting upto 25cwt a week of dust, showing thatthe' conditions were much better thanthey were. As a matter of fact thecompany was doing its best to make theconditions of the work better. If anincrease was granted it might greatlyinterfere with the extensions plannedby the company.
Decision was reserved.An Application Opposed.
When the Court resumed in the after-noon Mr Macdonald applied to bringthe New Zealand Befrigerating Com-pany within the scope of the manure,soap, and candle workers' award.
The Befrigerating Company, he said,had taken over the business of the Can-terbury Soap and Glycerine Works. Forsome time the business had been carriedon-at the old premises, but had laterbeen moved to the Befrigerating Works.It was now thought that it would benecessary for them to be joined to theother award mentioned., Mr'ReveU objected, Btating that, theemployees of the Befrigerating Com-pany were already covered. The merefact,of>taking over the other companycould not be considered as making it aseparate-concern.
The Court reserved its decision.Overtime or Shift Work?
! An interpretation of the Court wassought in a question as to what con-stituted overtime and what shift work.
; The facts showed that on one occas-ion certain employees of the New Zea-land Refrigerating Company had worked;their full ordinary shift, knocking off at4.45 p.nu They were then broughtback to work at midnight, carrying onuntil 8.30 a.m. They were then put onagain from noon until 4.45 p.m.
Mr Macdonald contended that thework constituted shift work. The workdone between noon and 4.45: p.m. thefollowing day had been paid for atovertime rates.
Mr Bevell contended that the menhad not done a shift but had continuedon with their ordinary work, and.shouldhave been paid at overtime rates. Theywere asking the Court for.an interpre-tation of,what really constituted shiftwork.
The Court reserved its decision.Springs County Council.
Mr H; Worrall, secretary of the Gen*eral Labourers' Union, moved to havethe Springs County Council broughtwithin the scope of the North Canter-bury Council labourers' award. At pres-ent the men's conditions were bad, andthey were compelled to work overtimeat ordinary rates.
Mr Macdonald said the Council hadnot had a chance of meeting the men.If the Council*could meet the menit was possible the same alterationscould be made. Any large increase ofwages might necessitate the Councilhaving more work done by contract,thus prejudicing the men.
Mr Worrall said the Council had hadevery opportunity of getting in touchwith the men. The Union was pre-pared to make concessions similar tothose granted the Al-aroa Council. His.information was that the Council hadapproached the men as to whether or.not they, were members of the union.He. charged the Council with trying to;intimidate the men and with ad-■vantage of the unemployment conditions;existing in New Zealand at the present.time, . •• . • "... .
The-Court-reserved its - decision.
Interpretations Sought.
~ .Three' interpretations touching theNew' Zealand Eefrigerating Companyand its employees were sought by theunion concerned. .
;Mr Bevell. appeared for the men and! Mr .F. .V. Sanderson- for the company. .
The first point arose over the employ-ment of• females. . The award at pres-ent, lays it down, that: they can only.beemployed in-the bag room and on such,other' work as '. is- suitable for females.- The. company, in" March and April,1929, started., employing females: (1)Performing the work of shaving tonguesand placing them in the tinß; and (2)
I performing the finishing stages of trim-ming meat.
The anion's contention-was that • itwas not proper work for females.
| ;• The second interpretation was one inconnexion with the proportion of boysto the number of men employed. Theemployment' of the girls in the pack-ing room, as referred to-in the firstquestion,, brought, up the point as towhether such female employees were tobe counted as males for the purpose ofarriving at the proportion of. boysallowed. '-'■ ]
The third interpretation sought, wasconnected with the newly-acquired soapand candle works. .As matters standnow, the Befrigerating Company, isworking under an award which prohibitsthe .employment of females except inthe .bag room or in such other classesof work as may be suitable.
Mr Bevell contended that boys shouldbe employed on the work now . being,done by the girls in the soap and can-dle department.
Mr Sanderson contended that . thework of'filling cartons, packing;boxesarid wrapping : was' essentially .;' girls'work. . v'"
The decision of the Court was re-served in each case.

1 The committee in charge bad beenhard-working and regularly each monthnew work ha 4 been put through. Withthe erection of direction, danger andqolpur route signß, Southland roadswere stated to be the most completelysign-posted in the South Island. It isrecognised that there are still many in-tersection! requiring sign boards, anda' reminder might he given to mem*bers that particulars of . any signsneeded, together with a sketch of thelocality showing position of existingposts, etc., will always-receive—the-necessary attention. During the past
twelve months nearly 200 sign boardswere authorised for erection.
By the provision of an up-to-datebuilding in the Invercargill Campground, .which is situated on Miesroad at the south-end corner of Vic-toria Park, the Association "was re-sponsible for bringing: this centre intoline with the other centres of the Do-minion which have for some time pastbeen providing camping facilities fortouring , motorists. Z The ; ground isrented by the Association, and underan arrangement wth the City Councilregular attention is given to the areain the matter of keeping it in a tidycondition and improving the genera!appearance by the trimming of thesurrounding trees, planting of shrubs,etc. Other very excellent camp groundsin Southland are at Gore, ideally situ-Ated on the East Gore Domain; atTuatapere, situated on the: beautifulTuatapere Domain: and at Riverton.situated on the Pilot Reserve, midwaybetween Riverton and "The Rocks."

SPEED TEST.
"WIZARD" SMITH'SATTEMPT.
SECRET ENGINE.
(FROM OVM. OWH COEBBSPONpEST.)
SYDNEY, June 5.All going well, New Zealand, some
months hence, will have the oppor-tunity of staging one of the greatestmotor speed tests in' the world, for theSydney motorist, Norman "Wizard"Smith, says that he is confident that he■will he able to attain a rate of 300
miles per hour on the Ninety MileBeach, north of Auckland, in thespecial car that is now being designed.In January last Smith and Don Hark-ness averaged over 148 miles an hour ontho beach in their "Anzac" car.Anxious to improve on this remarkablyfine performance, Smith was faced withtho problem of securing a suitable en-gine for his new car, and it has nowbeen revealed that he Will install anengine secretly designed fpr the BritishGovernment in connoxion with thoSchneider Cup races. Tho story of howSmith got permission to use ono ofthese ultra-powerful engines is atribute to tho generosity of the BritishGovernment and to the helpful inter-cession of the Australian Prime Minis-ter, Mr Scullin.
Smith and Harkncss, in their searchfor a special engine, had been offeredtwo of American design and manufac-ture, but, as they wanted an all-Britishcar, they decided to appeal to MrScullin 1o assist them. Mr Scullinquickly became enthusiastic about theidea of bringing the speed record sbuthof the Line. He got into touch -withthe British Prime Minister, Mr Bam-say MacDonald, and after the DefenceDepartment and the British Air Minis-try wero satisfied with Smith's abilitythe British Government decided to loanthe engine to Australia for Smith'sattempt. News came on Friday lastthat tho ongino had been shipped toAustralia. Very Btrict precautions willbe taken to ensure that tho secrets ofthis remarkable engine do not becomepublic property.
The new car is to be built at Hark-noss's Sydney workshops and will beconstructed throughout of British andAustralian material. In appearance itwill be much like Segrave's GoldenArrow, though modified in accordancewith the latest streamlining principles.It will be strengthened, too, to takethe strain of the greater horse-powerthat will be developed by the aeroplaneengine. SograveT s engine developed930 h.p. with a possible 3400 revolu-tions per minute. The new engine,though the details ore secret, is saidto develop nearly 2000 horse-power atabout 4000 revolutions per minute.The proposed design, having onepowerful engine in a scientificallyconstructed chassis, should be muchsuperior to that used bv Kay Don inthe Silver Bullet. In addition theSchneider Cup engine will developgreater power than Don co'-'d get outof two engines if they fum .oned pro-perly.
"When I returned from New Zea-land in January," said Smith theother day, "I was satisfied that, withthe proper power and the latest stream-lining, which utilises the wind to keepthe oar on the ground, it would be aseasy,to do up to 300 miles per hour ina racing car on a good beach surfaceas to do 70 m.p.h. in an ordinarytourer on any of our roads. lam con-fident that with this engine ,in thechassis that Harkness has designed, Iwill have no difficulty in establishinga new world's record, somewhere inthe region of 300 m.p.h. The tyresthat are being specially built, anawhich will cost an enormous sum ofmonev. are guaranteed to stand allknown strains and stresses up to 810miles per hour. I will race on theassumption that the guarantee is agood one." ' ,
,~ .
Mr H Butcher, of the AucklandAutomobile Association, who was chieftimekeeper during the trials with theAnzac in January last, will leave forEngland nnd Prance early this month.He will take a course of instructionfrom the R.A.C. of Britain and theA.I.A. of France in the use of thelatest timinct devices He will pur-chase one of these machines speciallyfor Smith's atterant on the worldsrecord. The machine photographs on aclock the motor-car as it crosses thestarting and finishing lines, and waccurate up to l-100th part of a sec-°
It is estimated that the value of thenew car will be about fiIMW. ' Theengine alone is valued at touuu.
NEW BRIDGES.
PROGRESS OF WORKS.
Satisfactory progress is being madewith the erection of a number of newbridges in the Canterbury district.
The Waimakariri bridge should be
open for traffic about the end of July.Tho concrete decking remains to be
poured on a few spans and the hand-rail is to be completed yet on six spans.Between two and three weeks are ex-pected to elapse before the bituminousdecking is completed.
It is probable that the opening of thebridge will be the occasion of a cere-mony, but no arrangements m this con-nexion have been made up to the pres-
eDA good number of piles have beencast for the new bridge to span theSelwyn near Glentunnel, the contrac-tors for which work are Messrs P. Gra-ham and Son.
Out of 229 piles necessary for tnenew bridge over the Ashburton river atAshburton 65 have been cast and 69driven. Eight out of the 33 piers havebeen concreted and other progress made.
It is expected that the Skew bridgeover the Main Drain near Ohoka willbe ready for traffic in about six weeksor so. Tenders have been called forthe construction of approaches to thestructure, and as soon as these havebeen completed the bridge will beopened.

THE MOTOR CURVE.HIGH LAST YEAR.
ONE CAR TO TWO DWELLINGS.
On February 28th last 152,609 motor-cars and 31,928 commercial mofor-vehicler were registered in New Zea-land. According to the "Motor Tradein New Zealand" (an annual review ofthe trade by the Charles Haines Adver-tising Agency, just issued) the numbersin active operation (after allowing for"dormant" registrations) are 141,385cars and 27,750 commercial vehicles asat February 28th.
A Car to Nine People.Iu motor-oars, according to the regis-
tration figures as recorded in the vari-ous countries, the United States regis-ters one car to every 4.9 people, Canadais second with one to every 9.1, and NewZealand third with one to every 9.63.In Australia the average falls to 13.2,and in the United Kingdom to 34.3.
Many makes of cars are registeredin Now Zealand. The makes "sub-stantially represented" number 42.Their prices range from £lB9 to £IOOO,
In the, total car registrations Fordaccounts for 24.22 per cent., and Chev-rolet for 9.81, per cent. There is aFord to every 39~people in New Zea-land and a Chevrolet to every 97. Noother make comes under the hundred.
The number of registered motor-carsin New Zealand is more than half thenumber of dwellings. That is to say,if every registered car had a separategarage, there would be more than onegarage to every two dwellings. Thefigures given are 152,609 cars, 301,970dwellings, or one car.to every 1.98dwellings. Taking the ten provinces,Southland, Hawke's Bay, and Taranaki,beat the metropolitan provinces. Inthe ratio of cars to dwellings, South-land and Hawke's Bay each show oneto 1.63; Taranaki, one to 1.66. Com-pare these with Wellington (1.76) andAuckland (2.18).
Metropolitan' and Rural.: Estimating ownership of cars per
head of population, the throe rural pro-vinces again beat the metropolitan pro-vinces. Southland has a car to overy7.64 of population, Hawke's Bay hasone to. every 7.77, Taranaki has one toevery 8.24. Compare Wellington (8.81)and Auckland (11.05). '
Looking at car ownership from an-other angle, Southland, with 5 per cent,of New Zealand's population, has 6per cent, of New Zealand's car regis-trations, and the same thing is true ofHawke's Bay and Taranaki. Welling-ton has 20 per cent, of tho populationand 22 per cent, of car registrations.Auckland has 34 per cent, of the peopleand 30 per cent, of the cars.
The 1928-29 issue of this review an-ticipated that in 1929-30 car sales wouldrise to 20,000.. The actual sales, ac-cording to the issue now under notice,realised 21,146 car* to -February 28th.No estimate of sales is. offered for thecurrent year J930-31..
*" the calendar year 1929, car salesin New Zealand rose to 21,405. Analys-alst
heße to*al sa!es ' ** is found thatA™ cMand Province easily leads, with7326 sales, greatly exceeding Welling-ton's 4670, Canterbury's 3008, andQtago's 1719. Auckland sales increasedby 40 per cent.over 1928, which yearwas (for Auckland) only 23 per cent,over its predecessor. For 1929, the in-crease of sales over 1928 was 24 percent, in Wellington, 21 per cent, inbonthland, 22 per cent, in Hawke's
Bay, and nearly 11 pei» cent, in Tara-naki.
Taking all New Zealand, ; monthlysales in 1930 to end of April, show de-clines compared with 1929. Spring andsummer, months as- a nrle ate the bigsale months. But the June figuresjumped from 1053 in 1928 to 1911 injogg—a figure hardly likely to be re-peated.
Canada's Gains.What countries Me supplying, New,
Zealand, with cart, and in:whfrt propo'r.-,tion? United States provided; sss percent, of the cars in 1927, and in 192936J per cent. But the United King-dom did not gain much ) thereby, asit supplied" 19J per cent. ofthe cars in 192?, and somewhat'less(17f per cent.),,in J929.; : The realgainer, is' Canada, jumping from 21$per cent, in 1027 to 46 per cent.," in1929. On this the: compiler if the,statistics' comments: "For the firsttime since 1925 Canadian cars havegained the ascendancy over those ofUnited States origin, which show asubstantial decrease. This is largelydue no doubt to the reinstatement ofFord on the New Zealand market."
Though the United Kingdom per-centage is somewhat lower, as' shownabove, yet the number of United King-d6m cars imported • was ■ substantiallygreater, being 4060 in 1929 and 2128in The average value 6t cars atport of shipment has: fallen over recentyears. In 1925 the*Canadian ear aver-aged £l7l and the United States car£180; their figures' In 1929 are ■ re-spectively £126 and £l6l. In thesame years the British car has fallen "inaverage value (at port of shipment)from £286 to £172. The British caris the only one showing a fall as com-pared with 1928 averagetributable, to a groat extent, to. thelarge numbers of 'baby' cars importedin-1929." >.,> ■'.•■■■■. . ,
Ooppnerei^yejiicles.In the total registrations (31,928) of
commercial motor vehicles, Ford ac-counts for 42,81: per cent, and Cheyro-;let for 14.45'per cent. No other makereaches double'figures in the percentagecolumn, Ford, is credited with 35.18per cent, of year's sales (to 28ti Febru-ary) and Chevrolet with 24.30 per centCommercial vehicles are mostly trucks.Trucks number 25,584. Nearly half(16,732) are one-ton trucks. There are304 five-tonners, 45 six-tonners, and 21oyer six tons. In 1929 the averagevalues at port of shipment were £319for British, £153 for United State* aridonly £lO5 for, Canadian, "accountedfor by the fact that practically the onlytruck imported from Canada is Ford."In 1924 New Zealand .imported J364motor bicycles * from the United king-dom and 930 from the United States;in 1929 the United Kingdom aent3277and the United States sent 542.

MOTORING.
MOTORCYCLISTS.
THEIR UNPOPULARITY.
YOUTHFUL ENTHUSIASMBLAMED.
That motor-cyclists are not exactlybecoming more popular •With any classof the community is unfortunately onlytoo true, and there is little or no evi-dence tending to indicate that theycare very much or desire a change.Certain it jb that the only people whocan effect a change are motor-cycliststhemselves. They lie undor the imputa-tion of over-speeding, of reckless andcaroless behaviour, alike in traffic, andon the open road, and of showing lackof consideration for the public in thematter of unnecessary noise. All theyhave to do to secure a greater favourand acceptance is to abandon thesepractices.
Not, however, that we think the sec-tion of motor-cyclists responsible forthe bad odour into which they havebrought their pastime is large or inany way vicious in its tendencies. Itmerely is suffering from tho indiscre-tions of youthful enthusiasm, and willyield to the moderating influences oftime and experience. Both in the motor-car and motor-oycle world, the presentposition is merely a phase, and forthat reason wo deprecate the formu-lation of legislative remedies which willremain to harass and annoy long aftorthe phase has been outlived.
Single-Tracker's Difficulties.Also we believe that no small por-
tion of the existing dislike botweenmotorists and motor-cyclists is due tomisunderstanding, and a consequent ir-ritation which reacts in the attitude ofeach to-the other. We do not supposethat moro than ono per cent, of themotor-car drivers of to-day havo everowned or ridden a motor-cyeic, and un-less ono has done the latter, a properappreciation of the motor-cyclist's con-duct on tho road is scarcely possible.He has problems of his own, of whichthe purely motor-car driver is ignor-ant, and, being ignorant, ofton mis-understands, and so puts down tho con-sequent handling of his machine by themotor-cyclist as unnecessarily, or evenintentionally, selfish.
Despite the apparent facility withwhich tho average motor-bicycle ridernegotiates traffic, and generally manoeu-vres his machine, it is so heavy and sodopendent on balance for its controll-ability that it requires a considerabledegree of speed to make the handlingcertain, particularly on bad road sur-faces. On some of the latter often it ismore comfortable to travel at speed, onothers it is incumbent to hold thecrown of the road to be safe.
We are not seeking to apologise foror condone the reckless or fatuousmotor-cycle rider, but simply desiro toput his limitations before the motor-cardriver who knows nothing of the art ofhandling a motor-bicycle, and is impati-ent under behaviour which does aot ac-cord with his own ideas of road cour-tesy. There are thousands of motor-cyclists on the road, and, like thegood deed that shineß bo in a wickedworld, the errors of the occasionallyobjectionable motor-cyclist are notedand remembered when the good behav-iour of all his fellows is unnoticed orforgotten. We want a little-more forrbearance between all classes of motor-drivers at the present-time.
Running In.Recently advice was_ given to
car ownere on running-m, andall that was said then, applied to motor-cyclists. Perhaps the necessity for careduring the early life of a motorcycleshould be particularly emphasised asrisers are mostly younger and more im-petuous than car drivers. Yet it is real-ly important to break in a machinegradually so that a hard-polished sur-face may be formed on aU surfaces incontact. It is very easy to spoil a newmachine by careless treatment,and it is not only the engine whichshould be considered, but gear-box, andeven fork-spindles, etc.
Undue "revving" on the lower gearsmay mean a momentary seizure with al-uminium pistons, and although the ef-fect may only seem temporary, perman-ent harm may be done, and in mostcases where seizure is felt it is desir-able to remove the cylinder subsequent-ly and examine the piston and rings.Very often the piston is distorted orthe ring grooves closed up, a little soas to jam the piston rings. If makerscould rely upon careful running-in, nodqubt piston clearances could be madeless,, and .oil consumption still furtherreduced.
Motor-Cycle Possibilities.The motor-cycle has many claims to
consideration, but a novel one is thatadvanced by the Aberdeenshire ChiefConstable lately, who thought that thegreat reduction in drunkenness of re-cent years could be partly attributed,at least, to motor-cycling. Many ad-vantages have been suggested in con-nexion with motor-cycling, some ofdoubtful value, perhaps, but (says theGlasgow "Herald's" motor-cycling con-tributor) this one is no doubt real.Motor-cycling is certainly part of themodern desire to take pleasure in theopen air, which has done so much totake the younger generation from thetown streets^
In the country, too, the motor-cyclehas played its part in making life heal-:thier and pleasanter. Itpleasures than the weekly visits to thenearest village inn, and the gamekeeperand the shepherd in many Highlandglens are now of an entirely differenttype, with a far wider outlook. Not onlyhas the motor-cycle helped m this, butby providing cheap and handy trans-port it is making for greater content-ment in rural life.
It is these achievements ana thepossibilities yet to be developed whichwould seem to show that motor-cyclingis only beginning its useful career.Some would have us believe that it isdeclining, and must do so as four-wheelers become still cheaper. Fourwheels, however, will always be dearerthan two, and what can take the placeof a fast and reliable motorcycle atunfler £2sf It is not too optimistic tosuggest that one day motor-cycles willbe as numerous as pedal-cycles.
PROFITS ANDLOSSES..—■+
RELATION TO WAGES.
ARBITRATION COURTARGUMENT.
The vacation as to whether thereshould be any relationship between theprofits or losses made by a companyand the wages, as set out in an award,was raised in the Arbitration Court yes-terday morning, during the hearing of adispute that had arisen between MessrsKempthorne, Prosser, and Co., and theFreezing Workers' Union.
The contention had been made by a
witheflß for the union that, as the com-pany had distributed 53,000 bonusshares in 1928, and had been paying10 per cent, dividend on them, in ad-dition to its ordinary share dividend,it could afford to pay its 52 employeestho 4}d an hour extra they were ask-ing.
Replying to this, Mr D. I. Macdonaldsaid it must bo remembered that thecompany had to face losses as well asprofitß. It was now facing greater com-petition than in tho past. The timeswere bad, and for the noxt year or twofarmers would be curtailing their ex-penditure, and therefore buying lessmanure.
Mr A. L. Monteith (workers' repre-sentative on the Court): You think thenthat a company's profits should notba considered, but only its losses? Ina previous case we were asked to con-sider a company's losses. Your idea,then, is to reduce wages on losses, butnot to take any notice of the profits'?
Mr Macdonald argued that ho wasonly dealing with tho caso before theCourt. Ho contended the previous pro-fits made by Kempthorne, Prosser, andCo. should not be considered in thiscase.
Mr Monteith: But take into consid-eration its losses?
Mr Macdonald said he was not mak-ing tho statement because lie wantedreduced wages. Thero might be occas-ions in which the losses and profitswere so large that they would affecttho sums paid to the men, but thatwould depend on circumstances, lie was-only replying to the statements thathad been made. The company mighthave made fairly large profits on oc-casions, but thero had been offsets.
Mr Monteith: It is no use jugglingwith words, because the profits are stillin existence. Thero wore 53,000 bonusshares, and the amount is still in ex-istence. The shareholders are gettingtho profits.
Mr W. Cecil Prime (employers' re-presentative on the Court): You do notwant to atcuse them of juggling withwords.
Mr Macdonald: The capital is stillinvested in tho company. It way bewithdrawn.
Mr Monteith: When you give, bonusshares arc you going to take thembackf
Mr H. C. Eevell (Union representa-tive) said Mr Macdonald had made re-ference to tho farmers. It might havobeen better for the company to havereduced its charges to the farmers in-stead of giving bo many bonus shares.It should be remembered that, in addi-tion to tho bonus, thero was the divid-end of £5300 being paid on theso shares.
PRIMARY EDUCATION.
PROGRESS TOO LEISURELY.
[THE PBESS Special Service.]
WELLINGTON, June 12.The view that progress in the lower
classes in New Zealand primary schoolswas much too leisurely was put for-
ward by Mr T. B. Strong, Director ofEducation, in an address to tho Coun-cil of Education to-dayi
In Australia, he said, the syllabuswas much more comprehensive thanours. He thought, however, that a con-siderable advance had been made inNew Zealand in the direction of givingthe primary school teachers greaterliberty, making tho instruction morepractical, less formal, and giving dueemphasis to the oultural side. In oneaspect, however, it failed. He had beenled to that conclusion because his ob-servations in Australia had confirmedthe opinion that ho had held for someyears. It was probably one of the mostimportant results of his visit abroad.The primary school syllabus appearedto fail because it did not provide arapid enougn advance from stage tostage. While some classes had a rea-sonable amount of work to do, otherswere almost marking time for sometime during the school year. The point,hj« said, was a debatable one. Progressin the lower classes in the New Zea-land schools was much too leisurely.Some knew it was a view he hadbrought forward before and which hadmet with considerable opposition. Hisown efforts to put more work on tothe lower classes and so make room forgreater advance in the higher classes,the reaching of a higher standard ofattainment In Standard VI., had beenopposed, and he had had to give way.
Comparing the syllabus of to-daywith the syllabus of the past, he hadalways noted a tendency to take some-thing out rather than to put somethingin. He knew that there was a popularopinion that the syllabus was over-crowded. He did not think it was over-erowded, and he was led to the con-clusion that more could be done, par-ticularly in the lower part of thoschool. It was a very serious matter,and one that affected all branches ofeducation in New Zealand, from theprimary school to the university, andhe thought that it demanded very closeinvestigation. He was forced to theconclusion from his observations inNew South Wales and Victoria thatthey did reach a higher standard ofeducation in less time than New Zea-land did. He was well, aware that thatwas an unpleasant criticism from him,for as a New Zealander he was proudof our system. It was one of the weak-nesses of the system, and they had tosee to it. He proposed next week,when all the inspectors of the Do-minion met in conference, to take upthe matter very seriously with them-He had bad the subject in mind for anumber of years past, but yet had hadno definite basis on which to found theopinion. He was more convinced, how-ever, from his visit to Australia, thatthere was some ground for the criticismhe had made.

ATTEMPTED FRAUD.
WAREHOUSEMEN ALERT.
Two middle-aged men walked intothe mercery department of a Lichfieldstreet warehouse yesterday morning,and pleasantly asked for hats. Theyoung man who served them desired toknow whether they possessed an orderfrom the firm they represented, and,further, what firm they did represent?The customers gave the name of awell-known company of City tailors,but for some reason the assistant wasnot satisfied. He hastened to themanager of the department, and askedhis opinion of the advisability of goingthrough with the transaction. Themanager's opinion was definite. Hetelephoned to the shop whos* namehad been cited by the men, andenquired whether the prospective buy-ers were known by the proprietor. Thelatter's answer was definite: he hadnever heard of them.
The manager of the department, MrR. Richardson, returned to the menand said: "I am sorry, but we cannotsupply yon with goods on the accountyou have mentioned. The firm dis-claims any knowledge of you."
"They must be fooling," replied oneof the men. "we came straight fromthem."
They did not remain to argue, how-ever, but left the warehouse. MrRichardson then decided to followthem, in case they attempted to repeatthe trick at one of the other firms inthe street. But they hurried away,without looking to right or left, alongHigh street, and across the Square.
Mr Richardson went into the shopwhich had been cited by the men—itwas that of Messrs Ellis and Co., ofthe Triangle—but again the proprietorsaid that he did not know the menHe had caught a glimpse of them fromthe door of his shop, but they werestrangers to him.
The warehouse concerned was thatof Bing, Harris and Co., Ltd.. and asother incidents of the same naturehad occurred in the past, the matterwas put in tho hands of the police

CHAMOIS SHOOTING.
SPORT IN MOUNT COOK REGION*
A number of hunters took advantageof the first open Season for chamoisand thar by stalking chamois lastweek-end in the Mount Cook region.The result of the two days' sport wasthree Bne beasts, two with good heads,and all with beautiful skins.
On the first day a party of threeworked up the Hooker Valley, leavingthe Hooker track and scouring thelower slopes of the MoorhoUSe Range.Mr R Hutchison, of the Hermitage,was successful in bringing down oneanimal, but although others feresighted their timidity and quick flightsaved them. .
,
The second day a party of six wentup the Tasman Valley. They left theircar at Husky camp about, fow milesabove the Blue Lakes, and, dividing,followed up the gullies of the MountCook Range Under Mabel arid Rosa.In all about thirty ohamois weresighted, but many were top far away.Mr Coshead and Mr J. Moffitt ofTimaru. each secured a head, and tnewhole party were greatlv impressed pythe attractions of the sport.
As vet chamois Seem more popularwith sportsmen than that, but as thechamois appear more numerous andmore widelv distributed oVer the vari-ous ranses. this is probably quite agood thing. ,

The members of the British footballteam who did not visit the West Coastpassed through Ashburton yesterdaymorning en route to Dunedin. Theywere met by the Mayor (Mr E. Gal-braith). The remainder of tho playerswill pass through on their way souththis morning.
Complimentary Social.After having been superintendent of
the Tinwald-Flemington PresbyterianSunday School for tho last 32 years,Mr W. Maekay will retire shortly. OnWednesday evening he was tendered acomplimentary social by parishioners,of which there was a very large at-tendance, in tho Tinwald PresbyterianChurch. The Eev. W. Marshall pre-sided. .Mr Marshall, at the con-clusion of a fhort speech in which heeulogised thfc work of Mr Maekay, pre-sented him, on behalf of the parishion-ers, with a moquette easy chair and arosebowl for Mrs Maekay. He alsoread a complimentary letter which hadbeen forwarded to Mr Maekay fromthe Eov. E. M. Eyburn, Director ofYouth of the Church Work. Among thoother speakers were the Eev. A. D.Kirkland (on behalf of the AshburtonPresbytery), Messrs J. Lowery and H.Miller (on behalf of the office-bearersof the Tinwald Church), and Mr J. Mc-Millan (on behalf of old scholars). MrMaekay suitably replied. During theevening musical items were contributedby Mr and Mrs Mat McMillan, Eev.and Mrs A. D. Kirkland, and MesdamesH. D. Gunn and Eoffey, and a recita-tion was given by Miss Andrew.
Technical School Board.The Board of Managers of the Ash-
burton Technical School met yesterdayafternoon, when the chairman (Mr E.Galbraith) presided. Tho chairman re-ported that there was a credit of £63114s, Id in the general account. Corres-pondence was received from the PublicService Commissioner stating that theexamination would be held on Novem-ber 19th. Dr. J. E. Wells forwardeda medical certificate and recommendedthat Miss I. Aiken (cookery instruc-tress) should be granted leave of ab-sence for three months.—This wasagreed to, the Board regretting MissAiken's protracted illness. A framedehart of wool samples illustrating thoprocess in worsted manufacture waspresented to the school by an Ashbur-ton mercantile firm. The principal wasinstructed to send a letter of thanksto tho local manager (Mr E. G.Eawnsley).
The principal (Mr E. J. Thompson)stated that the term examinationswould commence on June 18th. Attend-ance at evening classes had generallybeen quite satisfactory. The class ininvalid cookery had completed its courseand in the examination throe passedwith credit. The only unsatisfactoryelass was metalwork, which was heldon Friday evenings, and it had had tobe dropped because of irregular attend-ance. A class in woolclassing forfarmers and others would be startedunder Mr H. Silverwood. An unpre-cedented .number of changes of staffhad taken place during the month. Theschool had been most fortunate in re-ceiving from the Herbert Smith Tru«tFund a gift of four really fine cnp3and a shield for competition among thejunior pupils. These would?1 be givenfor swimming and inter-houae competi-tion. During next month the followingBoard members would retire by rota-tion:—Mr E. Galbraith, representingthe Canterbury Education Board; Mr T.Hayes, representing the Ashburton em-ployers; Mr W. G. Hillier, representingAshburton School Committees. Allwere eligible and offered themselves forre-election.
With regard to the Smith Trust gift,the principal stated that the value ofthe gifts was £3O. It was decidedthat a letter of thanks be sent to theTrust.

34, N.G. Sister B. Ellis presided overa large attendance. Several members©f the Waihi Lodge, Geraldine, at-tonded tho meeting, and were welcomedby the N.G. Three candidates wereinitiated into the order and one mem-ber reported sick. The secretary of theBall Committee presented a satisfac-tory report upon the annual ball. MrH. Thompson supplied the music for adance Which was held subsequently.

Borough School met on Wednesdayevening, when the chairman, Mr J.Watson, presided. Votes of sympathywere passed to Miss E. Knox and MrJ. Dickinson in their bereavements.The headmaster (Mr S. H. Sullivan) re-ported that the roll number was 457,and the average attendance had been446. Eleven children had been ad-mitted and six had left. He asked theopinion of the committee in regard toinstituting a drum and fife band at theschool. Funds for the necessary in-struments could be raised by holdinga fancy dress carnival. Mr Mcßeanhad agreed to take control of the band.He also advocated a recognised costumefor girls and boys of the school, ashe thought it raised the tone of theschool. It could not be enforced, butit would be very desirable. He sug-gested that the dinner hour be 1£hourswith the exception of Thursdays.
The committee approved of theformation of a savings bank for thechildren. It was agreed to leave thequestion of the school dress over tillnext meeting. The lunch hour exten-sion was agreed to.

AEOLIAN CLUB.
AN ACTIVE BODY.
The recitals of the Aeolian Club bear
a strong family likeness to one an-. other. They always provide good musicas well as good players. They prove inmany ways that the club well fulfilsthe object of its existence in promotingthe wholesome rivalry among the mem-bers that is an incentive to continuous
work at their chosen instrument, if notlove of music in itself is the impellingforce. Never were individual effortand enthusiasm in music more urgentlyneeded than in our days.
Opening the programme, Miss OliveCooper showed in Grieg's "Ballade" afine tone-sense and dexterity." MissEileen Hughson, quite competent for
it, has not yet conquered her nerves asfully aB the Liszt transcription de-,mands. Boellmann's interesting Sonatafor 'cello and piano was played with jvery good effect and taste by Mr H.Dickson and Miss Pollard; very finemusic it is. Very charmingly sang,Miss Lillian Hanham the lovely FigaroAria, and with some very delightful in-
flections, and subsequently in songs bySchumann and Hugo Wolf, all artisti-cally accompanied by Mr Empson, theSchumann was of equal pronouncedmerit. Mr Fred Page gave a brilliantreading of Chopin's "Scherzo", in Csharp minor. Eachmaninoff's imposing
Concerto Movement was presented with«eat power and penetration by MissCy Fullwood. To the fanciful flowof harmonies in Debussy's "Beflets dansl'Eau" Miss Isla Barter responded withrefinement. John Ireland's "Bhapsody"was easily mastered by Miss BessiePollard, who has lately developed in anartistic sense* best proved in herBoellmann Sonata part. A very smartperformance of Eachmaninoff's "Taran-telle" was given by the Misses EileenHughson and Eunice Tait.
...
The recital was largely patronised. Apresentation of an armchair was madeto Mr Ernest Empson on behalf of theclub. i ___^_

The PressFriday, June 13, 1930.
The Super Land TaxThere was printed in The Press yes-terday the Prime Minister's summaryof the report of the Commission 'ap-pointed to give effect to the hardshipclause of the Land and Income TaxAmendment Act, 1929. The caseagainst the super land tax was ofcourse proved in full, long before thehardship clause was grudgingly ac-cepted by the United Government, sothat the results of the Commission'swork are interesting, not because theytell us much that is new, but becausethey so strongly corroborate what wasalready known. It will not have beenforgotten, however, hpw obstinatelythe Government asserted the justiceand the necessity of the tax, shift-ing its ground to argue now that itneeded the money, now that it mustforce the break-up of large estates, andhow it conceded the hardship clauseat last only after weeks of increasingprotest from end to end of the countryand from every section of it; and itwill not have been forgotten, either,that a very ungenerous attempt wasmade to discredit, as engineered, theopposition to the tax. To remind thepublic of this is necessary, since thematter-of-fact manner of the reportrather conceals than reveals its centraltruth, that the Commission found fourhundred men whom the Governmenthad done its best to smash, and overa hundred more whom it would havegravely injured. Another reason forrecalling the facts on this occasion isthat less than a week ago the Ministerfor Lands denounced the hardshipclause in the Act, because it "let"hundreds escape." Comment on aclause and a Commission intended toguard against injustice could scarcelybe more offensive. Hundreds of menare found in need of this protection;and when they receive it, the Ministerflies into a rage over their "escape,"and threatens, if be has his way, tobe even with them next time. Mr Ran-som is not the Government, it is true,although he has once or twee seemedto let the ftwt slip froin his mind; buthis opinions, and bis tone in express-ing them, will not encourage thesehundreds of escaped farmers, and thethousands more of distressed andanxious farmers, to hope that the Gov-ernment will at once and straightfor-wardly remove the super land tax, anact by which it could do a. great dealof immediate good and declare its in-tention of moving towards a simplerand more equitable basis of nationaltaxation. We purposely say, "the" thousands of distressed and anxious"farmers," because, in the first place,the phrase fairly describes—if itdoes not understate—the position ofprimary industry to-day, and because,in the second, it would be a grave mis-take' to think that the influence of thesuper land tax is fully measured inthe number of appeals made to theCommission and wholly or partlyallowed. Everyone who knows thefacts as they are knows that manyfarmers have paid, though they mightfairly have appealed on grounds ofhardship; and everyone who knowshttjman nature must have expected this.But the justiceof the super land tax is6f course tested in only a rough andready way when we find out howmany men have nothing to pay it with,how, inikny can pay a pttrt, and how
; J*M*y pay rather than sink their prideand seel: relief. The ultimate objec-tion to the tax is that it is a class tax,unjust because it both discriminatesand fails to discriminate. It dis-criminates against a class, and it isentirely- undiacriminating in its inci-dence within that class.
The Rest Room Proposal.The Christchurch City Council mayfind: it difficult to finance the women'srest room proposal. It has alreadycommitted itself to the purchase of abuilding in Cathedral square at a re-ported price of £10,250, and has paidft deposit of £IOOO to hind the contract.According to>.s statement made by theMayor, it is intended to use the base-ment of the building as a parcels officeand first floor as a women's restroom, and to; add a fourth storey tothe building. The upper floors wouldbe used as City Council offices if re-quired; if not, they would be let. Ithas also been.stated that the cost ofremodelling the building will amountttt about £9OOO, and that the money tocomplete the purchase and pay for theremodelling, a total sum ofabout £20,000, is to be raisedon loan by special order J underpowers" conferred by the Health■Act and without taking a poll of theratepayers. The clause in the HealthAct qpon which the Council must relydoes not appear to be quite wideenough for the present circumstances.Only certain specified sanitary works,actually ordered by the Board ofHealth to be provided by a localauthority, come within the exemption;and since such sanitary work as is de-tailed in the clause forms only a smallpart of the rest room proposal, it isfar from-certain that the Board ofHealth, even if asked to, would orderthe City Council to spend £20,000 onthe strength of that. In any case, theLocal Government Loans Act, 1928, ex-pressly provides that, notwithstandinganything to the contrary in any Act, aioejpi body shall not borrow any money,
whether under a special Act or underany authority whatever, until the pro-posal has been submitted to the LocalGovernment Loans Board, andapproved; and that Board might notbe found entirely ready to approveof the raising of so much money to payfor a scheme, the essential features ofwhich might be more cheaply pro-vided. It is of course necessary thatrest rooms should be established in-stead of those in the middle of theSquare, and the ratepayers will notgrudge the expense of providing them,in a suitable place and of a suitabledesign. But it is surely not unreason-able to suggest that in the presentscheme a great deal that is not neces-sary is tacked on to what is, and thatthis is swelling the bill.
Arapuni.
There is one thing, and perhaps oneonly, that it is necessary and properto say about Arapuni in Canterbury.We must now have the truth. Untilthe dam has been emptied and an ex-amination made it would be foolisheven to wonder how far the fault goes.No one at present wants to know whois responsible, and it would be merelyridiculous to ask how much it will costto repair. But we do want to knowthat the facts, as soon as they areavailable, will be made public. Whentrouble threatened before we were toldthat it was nonsense to be uneasy; andit is perhaps true that this, at thetime, was the honest opinion of theDepartment. The opinion of the De-partment now must be that many ques-tions which once seemed to be settledhave been reopened. It must realisealso that to sit in judgment on its ownwork, now that the work has failed,will not satisfy public opinion. Thepublic have been patient, and trusting;and they should certainly, at thepresent critical stage, be patient a littlelonger. But the Department must re-ward their patience with candour. Itshould be at once announced by theMinister, and perhaps by the PrimeMinister, that as soon as the immedi-ate danger has passed there will be aninvestigation which will be authorita-tive enough to satisfy everybody. It isnot the time just now to criticise in-dividuals. It is the time to say thatwhen the final enquiry begins individ-uals must not be permitted to pro-tect themselves at the expense of thepublic.

FLIGHT-LIEUTENANT BUCKLEY'S
FEAT.
I.THB *MSBB BptcUl Bfftrie«.j
AUCKLAND, June 12.A roeorA sfleed for air travel in New
Zealand was established by Flight-Lieu-tenant M. W. Buckley to-day, when heflew one of the Government Fairey aero-planes from Sockburn Aerodrome, Christ-church, to Hobsonville Air Base, Auck-land, in three hours forty minutes. Itwaa a non-stop flight, and the distanceby the route followed was calculated bythe pilot to be 532 miles. The averagespeed, that is, the ground speed, was thug145 miles an hour. Corporal W. Templeaccompanied Flight-Lieutenant Buckleyas mechanic. A southerly gale enabledthis great speed to be attained.
Flight-Lieutenant Buckley said thatat times the velocity of the gale reached50 miles an hour. Instruments showedthat the air speed of the machine variedbetween 105 and 110 miles an hour,therefore the average velocity of thegale during the journey was between 35and 40 miles ah hour since the average§round distance covered in each hour ofight was 145 miles.
Sockburn was left at 9.50 a.m., andthe landing at Hobsonville was made at1.30 p.m. The coast was followed toCape Campbell. Then a line was takenwestward of Wellington over the sea toKapiti Island. The coast was againfollowed to Patea, whence the machinewas flown over the land in order topass behind Mt. Egmont, regaining thecoastline 20 or 30 miles to the north ofNow Plymouth; the pilot followed itto the mouth of the Waikato, whencea direct line was taken to Hobsonville.
"A wonderful machine, with a per-fect cngino, which makes cross-countryflying easy," said Flight-LieutenantBuckley, giving his impressions of theflight and capabilities of the Fairey,which is one of two which are to co-operate with the warships in firing exer-cises in Hauraki Gulf during the nextfew days. The speed of this flightshowed what was possible by takingadvantage of the weather conditions.On the advice of the Governmentmeteorologist he had delayed his de-parture two days. A favourable windon the day eventually chosen was afactor of which he took full advantageby flying sufficiently high. It waswhen he saw Wauganui only two hoursafter taking off that the pilot fullyrealised how rapid a trip the machinewas making.
The return journey to Christchurchfor Flight-Lieutenant Buckley and Cor-poral Temple will take a long time incontrast with the 3 hours and 4p min-utes which brought them here. Theyleft by the express to-night, andby train and boat can reach their des-tination on Saturday morning.

"The most mean and selfish personI know is the one who rides a cycleon a footpath and forgets the littlechild or aged person who may step outfrom a gate—and the most contempt-ible person is the cyclist who rides onthe footpath at night without a light,"said Inspector J.

"That in our district housas are-being built on low-lying sections withan inadequate foundation, and withoutproper ventilation, and as we considerthis detrimental to the hearth of thecommunity, we desire tho Council toenforce the by-law." The above mo-tion, to be embodied in a letter to theChristchurch City Council, was passedat the meeting of the executive of thoEast Linwood and Woolston ProgressiveAssociation last evening.
"Councillor Fraer and I wore atthat 'sink of iniquity' on Mondaynight," uaid Councillor C. E. Joneslast night at the meeting of theWomen's Branch of the ChristchurchCitizens' Association, "but you arenot to judge the supper by tho news-paper posters. When the Mayor ofthe City loses his dignity to such anextent as to say that the Council hasturned the Chamber into a 'boozerooshop' then it is time to put someonein that position who will uphold thedignity of the City."
"I feel rather nervous coming toChristchurch to talk to the Canter-bury Chamber of Commerce," con-fessed his Majesty's Trade Commis-sioner in New Zealand (Mr L. A-Paish) at a luncheon yesterday. "1have had tho opportunity of readingyour economic bulletins, and 1 feelthat you have reached such a highcalibre that it would be almost asuperlative work for mo to come hereand teach you something. Of all thecities I have visited in New Zealand,I suppose Christchurch has the mosteconomic knowledge and the most eco-nomic ability." The Chamber greatlyappreciated this compliment, said Mr'A. M. Burns, in moving a vote ofthanks to Mr Paish. The Commis-sioner's high opinion of its bulletinswas only in keeping with the world-wide reputation which they were build-ing up.
"Christchurch Jags behind the othercities in the manner in which it destroysunwanted dogs and cats," said Miss A.Forrest at the meeting of the women'sbranch of the Citizens' Association lastovening. "Here we are dependent ona tank to drown them in, but Dunedinuses gas, Auckland electricity, and Wel-lington has a lethal chamber. We shouldhave something more painless than thepresent method, and the best method isthe lethal chamber, as at Wellington.There, as many as ten dogs can be putin at a time, they go to sleep immedi-ately, and are dead in 15 minutes."Or. Jones added that the matter was tobe considered by the Works Committee,and in his opinion Christchurch wouldhave a lethal chamber for this purposein a very short time.
"It is a mntfer of considerable diffi-culty for mo to talk on the economicposition of Groat Britain to-day," saidhis Majesty's Trade Commissioner mNew Zealand (Mr L. A. Paish) at thoChamber of Commerce luncheon yes-terday. "It is always difficult for apermanent official to talk on contro-versial questions. Immediately we getinto the region of politics, our poli-tical masters think that their perman-ent staff should be silent and leavethem everything to say. It is a pr-Mgood rule that if a permanent officiallias anything good to say, ho mustwrite it for tho Minister. The secre-taries write the Minister's speeches inGreat- Britain, and, I suppose, in NewZealand as well Mr J. W. Mawson,Director of Town Planning, the otherday compared himself to a parson whohad to preach sermons ever" day, butnot on any account to say anythingabout religion. I have to preach onEmpire trade, yet I must not sayanything that verges on tho politicalborder."

PETROL TAX.
THE PROPOSED INCREASE.
PROTEST BY SOUTH ISLAND
MOTOR UNION.
The leLter from Mr M. H. Wjrnyard,motorists' representative on the Mam
Highways Board, relative to the pro-posals for the increase of the petrol tax,which was before the recent New Zea-land motorists' ronferonce, was read at
last night'B meeting of the executivecommittee of the South Island MotorUnion.
The secretary (Mr P. K. Harman)read the resolution arrived at by theconference, to make a strong protestagainst any increase.
Tho chairman (Mr 11. C. Harlcy) saidthat tho matter was a very importantone. They could see right throughthe length and breadth of the countrythat County Councils were arriving atresolutions suggesting an increase inthe petrol tax from 4d to 7d, and as highas 11(1 per gallon. That would meanthrowing the whole responsibility ofroading the country on to the shouldersof tho motorists. He considered thatthis would be entirely inequitable. Thetaxation raised from motorists, apartfrom the duty paid on vehicles, wasabout £1,500,000 —representing petroland tyre taxes, and registration fees.That was a. fund that was increasingall the time. It soemed to him be-yond reason that motorists should becalled on for a further proportion oftaxation.
Mr W. L. Minson said that the wholething seemed wrong, even on the claimthat the user of the road should pay.According to Mr Wynyard's letter, thecounty ratepayer was paying no moretowards roads' than he did for the in-adequate roads of years ago; for the im-provement of the roads the money hadboen found bv the motorists. Thepeople on the hmd had provided theroads before the advent of the motorists.
The chairman: The extra expense ofsuper roads is all that should be placedon motorists.
Mr J. S. Hawkes suggested that theagitation for additional taxation ofmotorists arose probably from the policyof North Island counties in raisingloans in order to earn tho HighwayBoard's subsidy.
Tho secretary said that he did notthink any South Island county had in-creased its rater since tho establish-ment of the Highways Board. In theNorth Island the counties had raisedloans, and were now hard up andwanted relief from rates.
The chairman said that as regardstaxation and expenditure the motoristwas becoming a milch cow. Their pre-sident, Mr A. E. Ansel], M.P.. had toldthem towards the end of last year thatthe Minister for Public Works had toldhim that, in respect of tho restoration,of tho roads on tho West Coast ruinedby the earthquake, tho ConsolidatedFund would bear a reasonable propor-tion of the expense. From what couldbe gathered now, the whole of the ex-pense was to be saddled on the motor-ist, and on the South Island motorist,which made it worse. Was it a fairthing that damage by earthquake shouldbe borno entirely by taxation of thomotorist?
Mr Minson jocularly suggested thatpossibly tho funds to repair the Arapunidam would be found from the taxationof North Island motorists;
The chairman referred to the largeamount of money raised from the taxa-tion of motorists that had been spent onunemployment relief, and he suggestedthat the motorist had got only 6s 8dworth of value in the pound from suchexpenditure. On top of that they wereexpected to find the money for the re-storation of the West Coast roads dam-aged by tho earthquake. He understoodthat the money was to be tnken fromthe South Island share of the HighwaysBoard's funds. It meant that theywould have to got busy and see thatjustice was done.
Tho meeting then went into committeeand a committee was set up to inves-tigate matters, with the view of a strongprotest being lodged against any pro-posed increased taxation of motorists.

At the pre-sent time New Zealand was receivingfrom the Empire Marketing Board use-ful subsidies and grants, and as fur-ther activities in this direction wereto be determined it was essential thatDr. Marsden be present to watch Ne'vZealand's interests and make the bestarrangements possible for co-operationand assistance

CUSTOMS DUTIES.
CLEARANCES PROM BOND.
PRIME MINISTER ISSUES A
WARNING.
IPKESS *SISOCI/mO* TKI.EGBAII.)
WELLINGTON, June 12The Prime Minister made the follow-
ing statement to-day regarding pos-sible increases of taxation, particularlyaffecting revenue received through theCustoms tariff.
"It has come to the knowledge of theGovernment," said Mr Forbes, "thatmany commercial firms and others en-gaged in trade in the Dominion areanticipating increases in the rates ofCustoms duties on articles iu whichthey arc interested. As I publicly in-timated recently the Government arefaced with the necessity during thepresent financial year of raising extrarevenue in order to balance theNational Budget, but so far we havenot come to any decision in detail asto the methods by which this addi-tional revenue is to be derived. The,proposals of the Government in thisrespect will be submitted to Parlia-ment for/Consideration in due course.
"Having regard to the present finan-cial exigencies of the country it wouldbo extremely inconvenient if merchantsforestalled the Government by makingextensive clearances of goods from bondand thus possibly avoided anv increasedrates which Parliament might impose.
"I desire to say, therefore, that inconnexion with any increases in ratesof Customs duties which may be ap-proved by Parliament, the Govern-ment will seriously consider makingsuch increased duties retrospective ifthey are satisfied that abnormal clear-ances of the goods affected have beenmade in anticipation of Parliamentaryaction."
THE COMMONGOOD.
CO-OPERATION OF ALL
INDUSTRIES.
TRADE COMMISSIONER'SSUGGESTION.
A suggestion that primary and sec-ondary industries should not be con-sidered distinct or opposed, but simplyas industries in relation to the com-mon good was made by his Majesty'sTrade Commissioner in New Zealand(Mr L. A. Paish) at a Chamber of Com-merce luncheon yesterday.
"I have been reading in the Pressthe correspondence between yourChamber and the Manufacturers' As-sociation," said Mr Paisb. "It is, ofcourse, a matter of frightful con-troversy, and I touch on it with greatfear. It seems iust like Home to hearthis controversy in New Zealand, forwe have exactly the same thing inGreat Britain. We have our manu-facturers naturally leaning towardsprotection, and our Chambers ofCommerce which support free trade.The difficulty is to get the two towork together in the interests of thecountry. The poirft is this: it is nota question of free trade or protection,but of what ib best for the communityas a whole. Don't think of primaryand secondary industries, but simplyof industries. After alt, it is just asmuch an industry to make butter outof a cow as to make furniture outof wood. The real difference is thatsome industries are dependent on ex-port trade, while others are dependenton the Home market. If there is anylino to bo drawn between them, itshould be drawn there.''"Common Policy for Common Good.''
At Home, he continued, there wasexactly the same conflict between tneinterests of free trade and protection.But in preparation for the next Im-perial Conference, three bodies—theAssociated Chambers of Commerce,the Federation of British Industries,and the Chamber of Shipping—were allsitting at one table and working outa common policy for the common good."If we can get three such bodies asthat working for the good of thewhole." said Mr Paish. "surely you inChristchurch can do the same.
Personally, ho was not at all op-posed to the secondary industries, lo
the New Zealand manufacturers he hadno bad feelings. "You buy goods fromthe Old Country—and the more pros-perous you are, the more you buy. «
vou should protect some industries. _1could have no possible complaint. » MrPaish instanced the 5 per cent, tariffwhi«h it had been recommended .shownbe p'laced on British boots. This woi'ldnaturally be detrimental to the trade,but ultimately, if it was economicallysound. Britain as a whole wo"Id getthe benefit of the increased nrospentvin the Dominion. Wh*>t re»Hv had t*be determined was whether a tariffproposal was genuine!" in the economicinterests of the Dominion.

proved Sir Thomas Sidey's suggestionthat the main summer school holidaysshould be held in February, and re-commended that the matter be referredfor consideration to the governingbodies of the Universities, secondaryschools, technical schools, primaryschools and to the teachers' associa-tions, and that thev be asked to comnvv-ntp their viewß to the Councilof Education so that the matter may beconsidered at the next meeting.
MARINE DRIVE.
PROPOSED HARBOUR ROAD.
RELIEF WORK SUGGESTED.
Some time ago there was a confer-ence between representatives of theLyttelton Borough Council, the MountHerbert County Council, and the Can-terbury Automobile Association toconsider a proposal to construct a newroad from Charteris Bay to ChurchBay, the existing road being so steepand narrow in plaoes no to make it un-popular with motorists.
Speaking to a representative of Thep»es- yesterday, the District PublicWorks Engineer (Mr F. Langbein)stated that the Mt. Herbert CountyCouncil bad recently decided that itwould be prepared to meet the cost oflegalising the work if the Governmentwould undertake to go ahead with theformation of the proposed road as re-
lief work for the unemployed. He ex-plained that the legalising of the pro-tect would involve the purchase andsurvey of the land necessary to betaken for the purpose of constructingthe new road and the alteration of thefcifcl© d^tids
The Public- Works Department is atpresent engaged in nreparing a reporton the proposal, which will be sent tothe Government for approval or other-wise. If the report is approved andother details agreed to, it should bopossible for the work to be put m handbefore the expiration of the presentwinter period
The road which now connects Char-teris Bay with Church Bay has longbeen a bugbear with the motoringcommunity and there is no doubt thatif it wei'e replaced with a new one,6bviating the present disadvantages,it would attract a great deal of atten-tion from touring motorists at week-ends, providing, as it would, a beau-tiful marine drive around LytteltonHarbour, Purau, Port Levy, and otherPeninsula bays.
TIMBER INDUSTRY.
A PERIOD OF DEPRESSION.
Sixty per cent, of the West Coastsawmills are now closed down owingto depression in the industry, andothers will cease operations shortly.Included in the latter is the millof William Goss, Ltd., at Moana,where work will be. stopped to-morrowfor probably several weeks. About 25men will be rendered idle, includingsix who live on the southern shore ofLake Brunner, and who will be obligedto leave there through the journeysacross the lake of the timber rafts,which also carry their stores, ceasing.The big sawmill at Kotuku also closeddown recently.'
Both rimu and white pine areaffected by the slump, and a generalshortage of orders w reported,? TheWellington demand has fallen off con-siderably through quieter times in thebuilding trade, and the Canterburymarket, is apparently well supplied.The trade is expected to make a re-covery locally when the. big construc-tion projects, for which plans arebeing drawn, are commenced , Betterreports are coming from Otago andSouthland, "where the sawmills areworkihe more regularly,
A Christchurch timber merchant re-marked yesterday that ah embargo onall imports, except Californian red-wood, appeared to be the only remedyfor the present state of affairs. 1 .
Red-wood must be exempted because it wasindispensable for doors and sashes anduse in work exposed to. the weather,its durability and ouality of not twist-ing or curling under these conditionsgiving it" a special value.

DTJNEDIN, June 12.A larg? number of men gathered
outside the Government Shipping Officethis afternoon for the purpose of sign-ing on as the crew of the Maheno,which is about to resume hor runningin the, Melbourne service. After abag wait, however, the meu dispersedand the articles wore not signed. .*

Negotiationstor a settlement of the dispute pro-ceeded throughput the afternoonamong the parties concerned, but asthese wer& without effect, the matterwas referred to the Union Company'soffice in .Wellington.
The question upon which a deadlockhas been reached is, which party, hasthe right to select a man for, the posi-tion of boatswain, but it was statedthis evening that a settlement willprobably he reached to-morrow.

A message from Townsville, Queens-land, states that derisive comment hasbeen occasioned by Mr F. M. Forde'sstatement regarding workers on sugarplantations. Local statistics disclosethat the whole of tho sugar industrynorth of Townsville is in the hands ofaliens. Aa an instance of tho steadygrowth of alien population in NorthernQueensland, it'is stated that in theAyr district 43 cane farms, valued at£1,600,000, have passed from Britishto Italian control or ownership, andwhich the' Italians are working on acommunity basis.

He addedthat there was no danger of the em-bargo on imported foreign sugar beinglifted The Government's policy wasan adequate protection for the localsugar industry, which would enable thewhite race to 6ettlo and develop North-ern Queensland.]

SEAPLANE SERVICES.
A VISITOR'S PROPHECY.
[THE PRESS SpeeUl S«rrice.]
AUCKLAND, June IS.The future importaneo of the flying-
boat as distinguished from the aero-plane was emphasised by Flight-Lieut-enant VV. Vazie Simons, E.A.F. (re-tired), who arrived from England to-day by the Kangitane.
"Within three years," the visitorprophesied, "thoro will bo a regularservice between Australia and NewZealand, and the type of craft usedwill be the flying-boat. It will be thosame on all passenger trans-oceanioflights. He suggested a route to Syd-ney via Lord Howe Island.
"New Zealand is an island or rathera group of islands," hd said, "and Iam told that thero is no part muchover 70 miles from the sea. There are,moreover, a good number of suitableharbours." That being the case, hethought an amphibious craft seemed tobo tho natural model for New Zealandrequirements. Further, the total outlayfor a seaplane was less. On dry landonly hangar space was necessary, andharbours were free. The cost of a land-ing ground was not entailed. For theseroasous ho said any suggested airportfor a New Zealand city should havofacilities for both kinds of aircraft."Without double facilities in its air-ports New Zealand is going to bo i*''the map from the point of view of avia-tion,'' he declared.
Boing a man "married to hie call-ing," Lieut. Vazie Simons was first ofall struck not with the beauties of Wai-temata Harbour, but with its suitabil-ity as a seaplane base. The absenee ofsurrounding high hills he maintained,made for regularity of air currents."Well," he said, as he put away vari-ous explanatory diagrams, "there seemsno doubt that aviation is the greatestthing of this age: To-day it is saferto fly than to cross the streets ofLondon."

LIGHTWEIGHT ENGINES.

"by the official state-nient concerning the weight and powerof the Rolls-Royco engine fited in theseaplane, which won the SchneiderTrophy contest last year, for it issimilar to the. two units which arefitted in Miss England 11. Accordingto this statement, the engine develops1900 b.h.p. and weighs only 16301b, orabout .81b per b.h.p. Moreover, thisis not the limit, and the builders con-sider that higher speed and power arestill possible. •
"When it is considered that the re-markable Napiar Lion engine whichSir Henry Scgravo used in Miss Eng-land I.' developed 900 b.h.p. andweighed 8351b, or ,931b per h.p., it willbe gathered that tho saving in weightwith the new motors may enable a dis-tinctly higher speed to be reached.Moreover, it means that the tr,tnlpower in the boat will be in the neigh-bourhood of 4COO b.h.p., and it isdoubtful whether anv American en-gines can approach this power orpower-to-weit?ht ratio. In Miss'Cnr-steirs's boat, Estelle 11., also, therewill be n considerable improvementover last year, for the new Napierpngines to be employed develop 1300b.h.p. on a weight of 11301b. or .871bper b.h.p."

ROADING LOAN.
PROGRESS OF WORK.
£87,000 CALLED UP.
ORIGINAL SCHEME UPSET.
Those ratepayers who authorised the£220,000 roading loan in September,1928, may now see how a portion of thismoney has already been spent on thereconstruction of streets, provision ofplant, and the building of bridges.
The schedule set out to be completedin four years has been upset by fac-tors beyond the control of the CityCouncil. Projected changes in tramwaypolicy, tho Square controversy, con-sideration of traffic routes, and thesewering programme of th 6 City aresome of them. The future of the tramsin Christchurch may have a consider-able effect on the carrying out of theremainder of the programme. However,though not according to programme,the work generally is well advanced.
About £87,000 of the loan moneyhas already been made available, butnot all of this has been spent. Duringthe eighteen months the work has beenin progress practically all the firstyear's schedule of work has been done,a considerable part of the secondyear's, and some of the third andfourth.
Of the total of £220,000, £189,000was to be spent on the reconstructionof main thoroughfares, £20,200 on thereconstruction of bridges, and £IO,BOOon the purchase of plant, it beingunderstood that purely residentialstreets should not be reconstructed outof this loan money. , ■
Till now £87,000 of the loan hasbeen raised by the sale of debentures,and about £6500 more has been madeavailable for the work, this sum hav-ing been advanced from the generalaceount.
Tramway Policy.The programme provided for the
work being done in four years, but,owing to unexpected developments inpolicy as regards trams, and the factthat road construction hag, in manycases, been forced to follow tram-lineconstruction and to await a declarationon traffic policy which has been, andstill is, disturbing Christchurch, theoriginal schedule has been somewhatupset. '
This does not mean that the antici-pated progress has not been made, butthat the yearly schedules have not beenadhered to.
The laying of sewers haß also beena factor contributing to- the position.For example, the reconstruction of Highstreet, which, was to have been doneearly in tho second year's programme,has been held up pending decisionsabout tram-lines and the Squareproblem.
First Tear's Programme.The first year's roading programme
provided for an expenditure of ap-proximately £30,000 on the reconstruc-tion of portions of Bealoy avenue, Lin-coln road, Papanui road, Eossall street,Shrewsbury street, Winchester street,Bugby street, Milton street, and Tenny-son street.
Penetration bitumen- was to be usedon Bealey avenue, a mixture of con-crete and asphaltio concrete on Papa-nui and Lincoln roads, with aspbatbicconcrete on all the others.
The length to be reconstructed was352 chains, and all' this has been donfwith the exception of one side of thesection between Chapter street andHarewood road.
Additional Works.But during this eighteen months'
period some of the most importantroads in the other three'sehedttles havealso been reconstructed. , vThe estimated expenditure for thesecond year was £69,000, of whichMoorhouse avenue has already been re-constructed in plain concrete, the esti-mate being £29,883--over a third ofthe projected expenditure for the, year.
Two other big works in this schedule,Barrington street from lincoiri, road ,to,Ashgrove terrace, and Carlyle streetfrom Madras' street to; Colombo Btreethave been copipleted.
The estimate for the former was£B3OO, and for the latter £7400. Thus303 chains out of a total of 474 in thjesecond schedule have' been reconstructedat an approximate cost of about£45,000, - . '. ;
, ITwo important works in the thud
schedule have also beenchains of Colombo street between Lich*field stroet and Moorhouse avenue, theestimated cost being £5223, .; and 65chains along Milton street, the esti'mated cost being £3737.
It was originally estimated that£59,553 was to be spent in the thirdyear: j
Of the work scheduled far the fourthyear, Bomerfield street has been recon-structed, the estimate being approxi-mately £7OOO. This is the biggest workin the schedule. '.,.■■•
Bridges and Plant.During the period Carlton street
bridge and Colombo street bridge havebeen reconstructed, while the Badleystreet bridge is about to be done.
These are all provided for under thetermß of the loan schedule.
Naturally, an essential preliminary tothe work was the provision of the plant,for which £IO,BOO was provided, Acrusher, binns, and other necessarymaterial were purchased for the Hals-well quarry, the cost being over £3OOO.Then there was a sand-washing plant,loaders, elevators, tractors, trailers,motor-trucks, and other plant costingabout £7481.
Well Within Estimate.All these works have been completed
well within the estimated coßt, exceptthe contract for Bugby street, wherethe estimate was exceeded by £54. TheCity Engineer (Mr A. E. Galbraith)considers that all the estimates werereasonable and it means that there willbe quite sufficient left to repair anyfaulty work.
Compared with the estimates, about£17,000 has already been saved on thework done.
The Future.About the future progress of the
work, however, Mr Galbraith is notso optimistic, mainly because of the an-ticipated change in tramway policy.
If trolley-buses replace trams thenthe Council will be responsible for thewhole of the roads on which they runand thus the estimates for their recon-struction will* not be applicable.
Works contemplated on the Opawatramline, in Shakespeare road andWordsworth street, for example, maybe thrown seriously out of joint, shouldthe Tramway Board decide to lift therails.
Unemployment Loan.Since the big loan was authorised an
unemployment loan of £25,000 wasalso authorised, about £22,000 of this
amount having been spent. WaHhaanroad is one of the 6trects paved out pfthis loan. of the money, .how-ever, has been spent in rej>4itfoig£resi-dential streets cut up by fl»s Iftyiftg ofsewers *

ARAPUNI DAM.INSPECTION AT WEEK-END.
LAKE LEVEL DIMINISHING,
LTHB PBESS Special Serviee.l
AUCKLAND, June 12. '
To-day one-fourth of the volume ofArapuni Lake had been discharged. Therate of discharge will now be less than,during the last few days as the turbinepenstocks are no longer in use for by-passing purposes. This afternoon, how-ever, one of the new penstocks wasopened and it will aid the diversiontunnel, which to-day with the gateeraised 6ft 3in was discharging 10,000cubic feet a socond. This is a slightlyhigher volume than the tunnel wascarrying during the past day or two,but owing to the diminished head thevelocity has been reduced and no moreenergy is being dissipated in the re-stricted part of the tunnel thanformerly. . ■,' ' *
It remains a habit of many inexpertpeople to look for grounds for pessini'ism over Arapuni, and now that allabsurd doubts regarding the stabilityof the dam and spillway weir have beendissipated, they are turning their attcu'tion to the diversion tunnel. It is im-possible for any one to guarantee thatthe diversion tunnel will not be affectedby the strain of this period, but thefact requires to be emphasised that thefilling of the lake imposed the aamestresses Beeing that Horahora had tobe fed during tho process. When in-spected, the gates proved to be in per-fect condition notwithstanding th*vibration which was telt at the sur-face controls. Some slight erosion waafound in the concrete just below thegates and as a precaution steel platingwas fixed for a phort distance on thefloor and lower section of the aides.Difficulty was experienced in makingthis lining secure, but the final workstood up well to five days' test last De-cember. There is confidence that it willsurvive the present strain even. If someof the plates did carry away there re-mains a thick lining of concrete which,although showing signs of wear, iras byno means in jeopardy.
The rainfall of yesterday and the,previous night was one and one-thirdinches, which has .raised the inflow tothe lake, but the present estimate isthat without the aid of the new pen-stock for discharge the shallowest pointin the head race will be bare in abouttwo and a half days. There will then re-main 12ft of water at the spillwayweir. This will be run off by the pen-stock down to the 3ft level, when the 'bottom of the tube will be reached. Theremaining water will be pumped andsiphoned down the penstock,- but onlyin daylight 60 that a close examina-tion of the bed may be carried out. BySunday or Monday it is expected thatthe forcbay will" be shallow enough forgnmboot wading. Until then nofurther information of importance canbe expected.'

QUARTER'S WORK.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
REPORT OF COUNCIL ISPRESENTED.
The varied work of the Council of<fc« Canterbury Chamber of Commercedaring the past three months is out-lined in the report which was presentedyesterday at the quarterly meeting of
•embers of the Chamber. The work in-cluded an attempt to make Lytteltonthe first or final port of call for moreoverseas vessels; negotiations leading
op to a eonfereneo with the Manufac-tnrcrs' Association; and an investiga-tion of commercial examinations. Thereport was presented by the presidentof the Chamber (Mr Norton Francis)•ad received.
Following a conference of contribu-ting loeal bodies, a Direct Access to theSea Commission was set up and begantaking evidence in Christchurch on MaytSth. At a special meeting of the coun-cil of the Chamber on May 23rd, thepresident (Mr Norton Francis) and thef|i»iiww«n of the Tunnel Road Commit-tee (Mr C. P. Agar) were appointed togive evidence on the Chamber's behalf,consisting of the original Tunnel roadreport together with addenda, whichthey did on May 30th.
In accordance with a request by theChamber's land tax committee, thatcommittee was authorised to extend its�Derations to conduct an investigation«f the incidence of taxation generallyin the Dominion.
Ztxst or final Fort of CalLThe council had given consideration
to the possibility of inducing morevessels to make Lyttelton the first orSeal port of calL While it was very de-sirable that Lyttelton should be madethe first or final port of call for as manySteamers as possible, it was recognisedthat the shipping companies were facedwith the difficulty of trying to serveboth exporters and importers as effici-ently as possible and at the same timeto lIU their ships. It would appear thatthe first port of call was fixed at theport of departure, and that the ques-tion of the final port of call in NewZealand was governed by the classesat cargo offering and the exigencies ofthe trade of New Zealand as a whole.In view of the importance of the mat-ter,however, the eounci" is to watch de-velopments and make representations tothe shipping authorities from time totime in the hope of ensuring adequate
Evision of direct shipping to Southtoil ports.

Other centres had shown con-siderable interest in the suggestion, andit was hoped that definite proposalswould be submitted at the forthcoming•Msference of the Associated Chambers.
Conference with Manufacturers.There has recently been'some criti-
afan'of the .Council's attitude towardstte manufacturing industrier of theDominion, and, with the object of dia-asssing the problems affecting NewZealand's secondary industries from•very viewpoint, a conference between• special committee set np by the Can-tarmry Manufacturers' Association andthe Economies Committee of the Cham-ber baa been arranged," states the re-port. As a preliminary to this confer-ence, members of the Council, at the in-vitation of the Manufacturers' Associa-tion, paid avisit on June 6th to severalnutnufaeturing establishments in theCStj to see at first hand the methodsoawleyed in local manufacture.
The CShamber't agricultural bulletinsbad now been issued for twelveswaths, and continued to be favour-ably commented upon by the Press ofthe Dominion.' The circulation both toindividual subscribers and organisationswas most encouraging. In one case anagricultural company in Ecuadoroffered to supply the Chamber with seedsamples, which offer has been takenadvantage of by Canterbury Agricul-tural College, Lincoln.
The Chamber, in conjunction with theffcaterbsry Progress League, the Can-tsipnry " Manufacturers'. Association,and too Lyttelton Harbour Board, wel-eomed ILM, Trade Commissioner toNow Zealand (Mr L.

are in a very: bad way at present, owingin many respects, I think, to uncertaintyconcerning- the,legislative;plans of theGovernment," said Captain: Montague
Polley, of London, who arrived by the
Eangitane to-day to take up a post, inNew Zealand, as resident representa-tive and attorney for the weil-knownfirm of W. and A. Gilbey, Limited.
"The continuation of the dole," saidCaptain Polley, was having avery seri-
ous effect on the character of the Eng-lish people. It was deplorable to seetho general inefficiency of the youngergeneration, . which was becoming , soused to drawing doles.when no workwas available that it was not, unusualto find, numbers of boys who refusedto work at all. •
.
.
"Although our own business is ina very flourishing condition, the; samecannot be said of the bulkof. the. coun-,try's great industries," he said. "It isvery depressing, for instance, to see thenumber of cotton mills closing down inLancashire."
Captain Polley has spent a great dealof time during tho last nine years inSouth Africa. That country, he said,was not a very favourable one for theinvestment of British capital, as onenever knew what the Government,divided in its interests between Britishand Dutch, would do next. Some of thenewly-established British industries inthe Union, notably the Lever Bros.:soap manufacturers, and the motor-carworks at Port Elizabeth, were veryprosperous, but the same did not apply;to a host of others. ■
NEW YORK STOCKMARKET.
SEVERE BREAK IN PRICES.
(UHITZD PBEB9 ASSOCIATION—BY EEICTSIOTBTJtOBAPH—COPYBIOHT.)
NEW YORK, June 11.A severe break, partly attributed to
vesterday's decline in London, resultedin a rush of selling, over 4,000,000,000dollars worth of stocks being transfer-red on the New York market.
Drops in prices continued until im-mediately before the close, when slightrecoveries appeared, although the in-creases were unimportant
The market broke on Monday andrecovered on Tuesday, but dropped inoli issues to-day. Industrials sold offsharply, steel reaching a new low levelof 160. The losses ranged up to. 20points. Little support was demon-strated arid the demand was' particu-larly small .'
It is indicated that the tariff situa-tion is not helpful. s

DEARTH OP CREDIT.
DEAR MONEY IN SOUTH AFRICA.
(xrarrntD pbsss AisociiTiON—bt sxectkicTELEOBAPH—COPTBIOHT.)
CAPE TOWN, June 11.The Governor of the Reserve Bank,
in his annual report, said the reasonfor tho comparatively dear money wasthe dearth of credit. South Africa wasborrowing too much from the banks,and had spent it on imports when thevalues of primary products had re-ceived a setback. South Africa wasbetter fitted at present to stand theshock than any other country, owingto its gold production.

NEW YORK, June 11.A report from Miami, Florida, states that
five banks with resources amounting tomore than 20,000,000 dollars closed doors to-day. Their difficulties are attributed to"recent substantial withdrawals." ,It is believed, however, it is the after-math of the deflation period o! the Floridaboom.

North Broken Hill, Limited, has declareda dividend of Is 6d per share, payable onJune 80th. The distribution will require£52,600, and will raise the .total amountdistributed among shareholders to £5,160,940.In March last the quarterly dividend was2s 6d -per share. Low prices for lead, spel-ter and silver have since ruled, and thisunfavourable factor, together with the ter-mination of the contract with the BritishBoard of Trade on June 30th for the supplyof sino concentrates; accounts for the re-duction of Is per share.

BRITISH TRADE.INCREASE IS URGED.
COMMISSIONER'S ADDRESS. !
"I say to you, gentlemen, that it isnot enough," urged the president ofthe Canterbury Chamber of Commerce(Mr Norton Francis) at the quarterlymeeting yesterday when he pointed outthe small proportion of New Zealand'simports from Great Britain comparedwith Great Britain's imports from NewZealand. Mr Francis's words were usedas a text by his Majesty's Trade Com-missoiner in New Zealand' (Mr L. A.Paish), the guest of the meeting. Mr.Paish urged the purchase of Britishgoods, small and large, remarking thatnow was the time for New Zealand todo something in return for the fine ser-vice of Great Britain "in the past."I am sure you would all like me to
assure Mr Paish that we are all outfor increased trade within the Empire,"began Mr Francis. "We stand, nrsc, foras much trade as possible within New,Zealand. After that Great Britain idour most valued customer; and thirdlycome the other sections of the Empire,preferably those countries which givosupport to our trade. Unless we getsome trade in return, it is definitelyour duty to divert our trade to coun-tries which trade with us."
Trade with Great Britain.Last year, to March 31st, 1930, the
Unitde Kingdom bought New Zealandproduce to the value of £37,000,000 (76per cent, of the Dominion's exports)and sold to New Zealand goods worthonly £22,000,000 (45 per cent, of im-ports). The other countries of tbe Em-pire bought £6,000,000 worth 'of our'goods (12 per cent, of exports) and soldto us £11,000,000 worth. The UnitedStates purchased only £3,000,000 worthofNew Zealand goods (6 percent, of ex-ports), and sold to the Dominion £9,000,-000 worth (19. per cent, of imports).Other foreign- countries' gave to NewZealand the same . total of trade, butsold to the Dominion £7,000,000 worthfof their own goods. ■■''■.'
"We hope to'divert this trade:to;countries within the Empire- trading in;New Zealand, and 4o try to equalise:the £37,000,000 Great Britain buys from,us, with the £22,000 we buy from her.''
~ "Only Favourable Trade Balance.' *
Mr Paish, who was warmly applaudedwhen he rose to speak, began by em-phasising these figures. The trade bal-ance with the United Kingdom was ex-traordinarily favourable to New Zea-land, he pointed out. The other chieftrading nations—Canada, the UnitedStates, and Australia —had in everycase an unfavourable trade balance withNew Zealand. Great Britain, in fact;was the only case of a favourable; Dalrance. ',~ '
"Take a country like the UnitedStates,'' continued MrPaish. "It sellsto you three times as much as'it buys,I know tho-whole" story, 'and I knowwhy it occurs. It .is.largely a question}of motor-ears, and motor: cars wereone of the dominating factors 1 in NewZealand'trade. Last year, of a total im-'portation of £4,500,000 worth of motorvehicles, £2.000,000 worth came fromthe United States./.'lt is a very regret-table thing,, and I want to try to cor-;reot it. ,1, have; never been able ~tounderstand why people, have .such • anaffection for, 'American cars. It's theold'story of wrong traefy wrong price/wrong power, everything -wrong." '
'• Power. . ■ ;
Mr Psisb'pointed' oWbriefly'-that 1 tieBritish car has a clearance as great as;if not greater than, that of the Ameri-can car. The tracks were identical, ex-cept in the case of baby cars. Withregard to power, the trouble was thatyears ago some unfortunate idiot inGreat Britain invented what he calledthe horse-power tax. Power had no*thing, to do with horse-power for thiswas siinply calculated in proportion _tpthe square on the diameter of th<>: cylin-;,der. The/chief factor in engine .power:was workmanship, and in this Britain'sproduct could compare with any.
"Finally, people say our goods aretoo dear," he continued. "I want yonto understand that the reason is thatwe are. bearing an enormous financialburden of war costs. With 1.500,000 menunemployed, we in Great Britain arerather up against it just now. Part ofmy job is to appeal to you to help us inour hour of distress. Ton must admitthat the Old Country haß served yonpretty well; and now you have reacheda state of maturity, you can help the"Old Country in return."
Heavy Cost of War.The Great War cost the United King-
dom £10,000,000,000,000, a sum equal toa line of sovereigns 300 times betweenWellington and Auckland. The presentcost was £350,000,000 a year or £1,000,-000 a day. All this burden was on theshoulders of the British industrialists,and the British workmen. For waralone, they were paying £520,000,000 ayear.
"No one is asking yon to buy goodsnot suitable for your purposes at pricesthat are too high," ended Mr Paish."All we ask is that you help us by»buying British goods where you can,and ask for them, and look at themevery time."
Mr A. Burns returned the Chamber'sthanks for such a bright, breezy, in-structive, and informative address. Hehoped that no pressure from politicalmasters would detract from the Com-missioner's excellent efforts in NewZealand. The information he had given,particularly that about motor-cars andwrappers, had been very interesting."Regarding my own industry," said MrBurns, "the members of the EmpirePress Association are now discussingpropaganda work in connexion withBritish trade, and certain negotiationsbeing conV'dered by them Rre likplytohave a good effect on the newspaper in-dustries between the two countries."

THE SCHOOL LUNCH HOUR.TO TITB EOITOB 01 THB PBEBS
Sir,—Kindly allow me to enter astrong protest against the practice pre-valent' in some of'our schools of de-taining .children in the lunch hour tocorrect their sums or do some similarwork. ■„ One; hour in my opinion is notSufficient time tp allow the averagechili! to reach home and enjoy its din-ner. Our medical men are continuallyadvising us to look after the children,and amongst other things tell us whatchildren should eat and that theyshould eat slowly and carefully. In-digestion is responsible for a lot of.trouble, they say.
Recently my child rushed in afterbeing defcained:almost a quarter of anhour. She reached homo at 12.25, andas she has a quarter of an hour takenup in return, that left her twenty min-utes in which to gulp soup, with oneeye on the clock and the other on herplate, eat meat and vegetables andsome pudding, leaving almost immedi-ately in u flurry of excitement. Willsome of our teachers try to determinethe amount of good the dinner did thechild? ' ''•-.■
In conclusion, may I state that wherethe cap fits it may be worn. Theteachers who indulge in this practiceno doubt have their homes quite closeor their lunches with them, but theymust not forget that some of theirpupils have a distance to go, and incases perhaps have not the nice mealsto go Tlorae to, but nevertheless enjoythem and do not complain.—Yours,etc.,

This article deals with the tourof the British Rugby team, and afterreading on account of the CanterburyRugby Union meeting,-where it wasdecided to strike a special medal tocommemorate: the "great" .victory bythe Canterburymedium strong British I thinkthe reputation of-beiua' sport mad
is verified. An old saying, "Don't' hallo till you are out of the wood,"
might apply in this case, and I wouldadvise the committee to get in a goodsupply-of sackcloth and ashes for themourning that is likely to take placeon July sth.—Yours, etc.,

"MAKERS OF CANTERBURY"TO rUB EBITOB -Or TUB PBESB
Sir,—In the article by "Annalist"on Bishop Harper which you publishedlast Saturday is a statement regardingthe Rev. Thos. Jackson, Bishop-Design-ate of Lytteiton, that "he, in fact,did come out to New Zealand, but lack-ing the missionary spirit, was dismayedat • the prospect, the bare tracklesshills, and bleak immigration buildings,and turned to England for good." Thisopinion is perhaps the popular one,but it is very misleading, and I writenow in the hope that if these articlesappear in book form, this statementmay bo omitted, or amended, to re-move the slur from the name of onewho has done so much for the Anglicancommunion in Canterbury.
Some of His speeches, prior toleaving England, are published, inthe Canterbury papers, and fromthese speeches it is clear _that henot only intended to reside pei--mancntly in New Zealand, but that heanticipated a condition of things muchworse than ever obtained in the colony.Bishop Selwyn met the first colonistswho arrived about a 'month before theCastle Eden on which was the Bishop-Designate and his secretary, Mr Cal-vert. Selwyn was evidently not con-sulted about the designs of the Asso-ciation, and he made enquiries of thehew colonists. Fitzgerald told him theplain truth, perhaps a little tooplainly; the equivalent of an Englishdiocese was being transplanted to NewZealand. Now in canonical law abishop is a prince in his diocesej andcannot be replaced, or his diocesedivided, without his consent. Selwynstood on his dignity.
When the Castle Eden arrived, theBishop-Designate entered on his dutiesand orders, referring to schools, etc.,were advertised in his name. Hepreached in the church and promisedin one of his addresses that when hereturned to, England for consecration,he would 'remit monthly the moneynecessary to carry on the building ofthe college it' was 'proposed to foundThat looks as, if ho intended to returnagain.
Then followed the meetine in Wel-lington, on which our historians main-tain silence. But we have Selwyn'sletter to the Synod in which he saysthat the papers were sent out for his
signature, and that he refused to signthern. Wo have also the Bishop-Dosignate's letter to Wm. Guise Brit-tan in which he regrets "the anomal-ous position in which he had placedthe Bishop of New Zealand." He sailedfrom Wellington never to return.
The dispute continued in England,,tho Bishop of London and the Arch-bishop' of Canterbury giving their sup-port to Jackson, while tho Bishop ofLoudon presented him with the living cfStoke-Newington in his diocese. Themoney he collected before he left Eng-land he handed to Selwyn for thebenefit of the Church in Canterbury.It brings in at present about £3OOO ayear.—Yours, etc.,
HISTORICUS.June 12th, 1930.
ART UNIONS.TO THE EOITOB OF THE PRESS:'
Sir,—In one of vour leaders to-dayyou deal with an attack made on artunions, and the attitude of the news-papers towards them, and I noticethat, while you make a vigorous at-tack on the attacker, you make noattempt to defend the art unions them-selves. I do not wish to criticise anynewspaper in its attitude towards itsadvertisers: that is mainly its ownbusiness. Nc newspaper nowadays cansafely be run solely in the interests otpublic morality, but it is a little dis-appointing at times to see the numberof illustrated advertisements (not con-fined to art unions by any means) thatwe.could well do without- -"newspaperhoardings" one has to call them forwant of a better name. They takeabout the same place in print as theirmuch be-rated brethren fcako on theroadside, and which the newspapersare so concerned about.
What I would like to know aboutis the art union itself. All you cangather from their advertisements isthat you are missing a great chanceby not buying a ticket, probably theturning-point in your life, and that
they are undoubtedly your benefactors.The promoters state definitely enoughthe amount of the prize-money, and itlooks a lot. but what they fail.to stateis what amount goes in boosting, andwhat sum they intend to keep lor
themselves. .
Suppose, for instance, the piizc-money is £SOOO, the running, expensesanother £SOOO and the objective is
£IO,OOO. Now, the subscribing puoncwould pav £20,000 for the privilege otdrawing £5000: in other words, a manwould spend £1 for an average chanceof winning five shillings—a gf™1"
quick method for the . promoters. Ido not claim that these arecorrect: they are only gnesswk. butprobably they err on the mild side,because' when men get down to, thiskind of • business they, are likely tomake a better job of it Anyhow 'tis open for them to put tl»«f*u"fright and this they should be com-piled to do before any' P™* »
wanted. Then we would hear verylittle more about art *™°™-
The responsibility of granting a per-mit rests.™ understand.. enti"JF *JJ-the Minister in charge, and it seems
incredible that any man could allowsuch a state of affairs to go on. Theremedy is simple, and,there is no needto lay all the blame on the news-papers.—Yours, etc.,

ARAPUNI.10 ra» WJWOB OfTHB press
Sir,—Mr Chrystall's crisp phraseologydescribing Arapuni as "built on a vol-canic rubbish heap" contains, even iuthe eyes of a layman, all tho truthnecessary to free him from any sus-picion of malice. In the writer's be-lief many years ago the whole schemewas originally considered by the PublicWorks Department, but rejected on .thegrounds that the country was not suffi-ciently stable to be subjected to sucha pressure of water. When one con-'sidcrs tho townships on tho low-lying,levels of tho Waikato in the event ofa dam collapsing, the responsibility ofauthorising such a scheme is a graveone.
The country,is not solid rock a3 weunderstand the term down here. It isa softsandstonyrook known as rhyolite,and can be quite easily carved with apocket knife. When broken it quicklycrumbles into dust under tho influenceof weather. The whole region is fis-sured and cracked, the result no doubtof earthquakes and subsidences. Fur-thermore, throughout it there arescamß, patches, and pockets of softermaterials ranging down to the consis-tency of firm mud.
Armstrong, Whitworth 's and thePublic Works Department had ampleevidence of this at the three mainpoints, tho dam, tho spillway, and thepowerhouse site, and 'an enormousamount of additional excavation andgrouting was necessary to clean outand fill the soft patches encountered.There is absolutely no guarantee thatthese known rotten patches were theonly defective sections in the wholecountryside, and that the. rest of thoground is firm, solid, and unbroken.In view of the facts such an assump-tion would be absurd.
Some months ago there was a wildscare regarding the stability of thewhole scheme. A former chief of thePublic Works Department had thetemerity to express his doubts in pub-lic. However, Mr Furkert at the sub-sequent enquiry gave such a bold de-monstration of the absurdity of Buchalarmist rumours that Auckland and theLower Waikato were comforted, andslept peacefully again. These recent de-velopments'have apparently dropped onMr Furkert out of a clear sky. Bead-ing between the lines on the presentmeagre information it is not improbablethat there is some risk of a section ofthe high bank, on which the outdoortransformer station is built, slidingdown into the old riverbed, and possib-ly engulfing the power-house. If the De-partment is thinking of lining with con-crete the head-race from the site of
the dam to. the penstock intake,' thatwould appear to strengthen such a view,seeing that this would render the coun-try impervious to further penetration.This,, and further paving for some dis-tance below the spillway, is to cost atleast a quarter of a millibn pounds.
Arapuni has been in "commission for ayear. Belatively it is brand new. It has :yet to stand up to years and years ofcontinuous service with always the pos-sibility some time or' other of severeearthquake. Can anyone see what would,be the result in such a contingency,especially, if through fracture or mis-alignment, it is found impossible toopen the sluice-gates in the diversiontunnel, at the bottom of the river?"There is no engineer living who can■guarantee immunity from such a possi-bility. A lake of water eighteen mileslong, and banked up 180ft high behinda weakened dam, with its only emer-gency release out of. commission, is anasty thing to contemplate.—-Tours, etc.,

OPEN-AIR SCHOOLS.� r- . '-...
INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS.
Evidence of tho world-wide im-portance of the open-air school move-ment is given by the fact that thesecretary of the Canterbury Open-AirSchools' League has received a com-munication regarding the second in-ternational congress .on open-airschools.
The communication is fromM. GastonLemonier, Paris, secretary of the In-ternational Committee of Open-AirSchools, and draws attention to thesecond international congress on open-air schools, which it is proposed tohold, during the week followingEaster,1931. in Brussells. Since the first in-ternational congress was held in June,1922. in Paris, the number of open-air-schools has increased, and interest-ing experiments have drawn public at-tention to them. The time now seemsripe, the communication sets out, tocall a second congress to give an op-portunity to representatives of everycountry in the world, to report on theprogress made by the movement.
The secretary of the Open-Air.Schools' League has replied conveyingthe executive's hearty approval of thecongress, and its suggested programme,but expressing regret, that, for finan-cial reasons, the League will not beable to send a delegate.
MAORI ARRIVES LATE.�
TUG ASSISTS. WITH BERTHING.
The , fprry - steamer- Maori diddid ■ arrive .-at Lyttelton- until9.50 yesterday -morning, oyerthree hours behind her usual- time.After Bhe stopped outside the molesto come astern into the inner harbour,a further delay occurred. It was foundthat the starboard reversing enginewould not function. To avoid furtherdelay, Captain Irwin decided not towait while the trouble was remedied,and signalled for the tug. . Withintwo minutes the tug was under way,and picked up the Maori from her posi-tion over towards • the lower leadiugbeacon. The ferry steamer was towedin stern-first. Nearing the wharf ihebtarboard turbine came into actionagain and the Maori berthed as usual.It is not anticipated that there willbe further trouble.
.Captain Irwin said the vessel's latearrival was due to meeting with astrong southerly gale.'with heavy seas,soon after leaving Wellington. Speedwas reduced crossing Cook Strait andCape Campbell was not' abeam untilmuch later than usual. "The gale con-tinued in violence until Kaikoura waspassed. • •

■WELLINGTON, June 12.Possible improvements in New Zea-
land schools and a review of what hasbeen accomplished by the Departmentof Education (with the restricted fundsat its disposal) were the subjects of anaddress to the Council of Education bythe' Director of Education," Mr* T. B.Strong, to-day.
"It has become the' fashion withsome educationists.in New' Zealand todecry without ceasing our educationsystem," he said. "One of. these at arecent meeting in Wellington is report*ed as saying, 'We can .pay too much fora system of education that is-out o$date, such as ours "is, as> well as ua*suited to the needs of- New Zealand.'Professor Condliffe, in his recently-pub-lished book' 'New Zealand in the Mak-ing,' is so ignorant of the.Neweducation system as to' say that therehas been practically no change""in-ourschools since 1871. Statements likethese are so absurd as, to .carry their "own Reputation. I am not fgoing tosuggest that the New Zealand educa-.tion system cannot be improved.' Judg-ing by what I saw recently in Austra-lia, and by what I have read of sys-tems in other countries, our own-can heimproved, and if the people of New
i Zealand will provide, the money they! can have the improvements.

Physical Instruction.In regard to physical instruction, s>
noteworthy advance in methods hadbeen made. A specialist school of h* 'struction had been established at theDuncdin Training College, and a newmanual of instruction had been pre-pared. Each year twelve specially-selected students underwent a courseof training in physical instruction and,being also trained teachers, were ableto do ordinary teaching and at the sametime act as specialist drill instructors.In addition to training drill instructorsthe Department had provided opportun-ities each year for about forty collegestudents to specialise in the teachingof science, mathematics, .drawing, andsinging. It was hoped to give headteachers of primary schools- an oppor-tunity to organise their schools in aueha way as to utilise the services ofspecialist teachers. The Departmentwas' disappointed at the meagre re-sponse in that direction. ,

Owing to a recurrence of the un-soundness which has interfered With Mspreparation on past occasions, it naabeen decided to retire Hoarin fromthe turf, and this took effect whenhe broke down in the sprint on thefirst day of the winter Meeting. Hoa-riri was a sprinter with a lot of bru-lianoe. and be could run out six fur-longs solidly, while at his best he alwaystook a power of beating. However, theson of Antagonist still retains hisusefulness for owner-trainer H. R*toa

It is doubtful whether Mister Gampwas as fit at this year's AucklandMeeting as he was last year, whenhe had a good deal of previous racing(says the New Zealand "Herald ),
but his running in the only race mwhich be stood un demonstrated thathe is still a class hurdler. There willbe further opportunities for MisterGamp to show his worth during thewinter, and, although he is well up in
the weights, he may get one of theplums before the lumping season wover. All going well, he should be athoroughly fit hdrse when the WinterHurdles comes up for decision at Tren-thnm next month, and the chances arethat ho will be one of the early favour-ites for that race.
TROTTING NOTES.
Acceptances for the Auckland Trot-ting Club's Winter Meeting close thisevening.
Free Holmes has a number of horsesengaged at the Auckland Winter Meet-ing, including Eugene de Oro, Cyone,and Mac de Oro, but owing to the han-dicapping of the former pair they willnot be starters. Mae de Oro may botaken north but there is a distinctpossibility that he will remain in Can-terbury.
A gelding named Desmond Dillon,whose breeding is given as by HuiaDillon—Muriel Starr, won the Good-wood Handicap, of a mile and a quarter,in Tasmania recently.
Wrackeen:|s the early favourite forthe Ashburton County Handicap, to bedecided to-morrow, but on pub-lie form it cannot be-said that thereis anything to recommend her chancesover two miles in good-elftas company.Wrackeen's last win was attained inthe Flying Handicap at the FosburyBark; Meeting in May, but this racewas only' oyer a mile and a quar-ter. It is understood that a big pricewas on offer for Wrackeen a few month*ago, but no business resulted.
WASTE OF TIME.
TROTTING IMPROVEMENT!.
1 The suggestion made in The Paxssiyesterday that the times between racesshould be reduced a great deal has metwith the hearty approval of all sectionsof the light harness community.
Free Holmes, interviewed, said thatthere seemed to him no reason what-ever why the races should be spreadover such a long period as at pretjent.There was no need for it so far astrainers were concerned- Trainers hadplenty of time in between races to gettheir horses on the track in time forthe races, and there should not be anytrouble so far as they were concerned.Incidentally, he thought the public hadplenty of time to bet if they wantedto bet. There seemed to him no reasonwhy there Bhould be 40 or 45 minutesbetween races. ,
'
W. J. Torakinson said that, apartfrom the public, he considered thatdrivers were asked to spend too muchtime on the course prior to a race.There seemed to him to be no needfor it, for the horses engaged in a racedid not need a half-hour's extra train-ing after they had been prepared. TheCanterbury Owners' and Breeders' As-sociation had previously drawn atten-tion to the fact that too much time wasspent by drivers on the track, anddrivers were in the position of notknowing what to do with their horseshalf the time.' The average trainer didnot need more' than 10 minutes"on thetrack before a race, and he did notthink it took the public half an hourto make up their minds.
Other trainers-approached expressedthe same view, and all apparentlywouldwelcome a curtailment of times between
.races., As the annual meetings of the Christ-church Trotting Clubs are to be heldwithin the next few weeks, it is ex-pected that some move will he madeto have the time .between races cur-tailed. In Australia, it is pointed out ra meeting of six races may. be com-menced at 1 p.m. and finished befdre 5p.m., .and there seems no reason whythe same conditions should not prevailIn New Zealand, £ven allowing for thetime that is needed in balancing thetotalisator.

N.S.W. COAL MINES.
ORDER FROM AMERICA.

IMPORTED COAL.
CASE AGAINST DUTY.
RAILWAY FREIGHT CHARGESCRITICISED.
The suggestion that a duty be placedon Australian coal coming into NowZealand was sharply criticised by awell-known Christchurch coal merchantin an interview with a representativeof "The Press" yesterday. He statedthat it would be grossly unfair to placesuch a duty on the Australian product,when railage charges in New Zealandwere so loaded against it. He added,too, that the lower railage rates forNew Zealand lignite and brown coalsas compared with bituminous coals wasa further anomaly which would haveto be rectified, for it resulted in lignitecompanies making greater profits thancompanies mining bituminous coal.
"Before the Government places aduty on Australian coal it will have toconsidor the railage rates for coal inNew Zealand," he said. "Those arebeyond the apprehension of most ofus, and are quite unfair. As rates areto-day it costs Is 5d a ton more tobring Newcastle coal from Lytteltonto Christchurch than it costs to bringNew Zealand bituminous coals, and asthe haulage distance increases so doesthe difference in the railway rate in-crease in proportion. Yet the Govern-ment states that there is no duty onAustralian coal. There is no actualduty, but it is mado up for by an in-creased railway freight. For the car-riage of coal 400 miles by rail in NewZealand the costs are: Newcastle, 38sfid a ton; New Zealand bituminous, 33slid; lignite and brown, 20s sd.
No Bounty to New Zealand."I do not think, viewing the posi-
tion from that angle, that the Govern-ment is serving the interests of all itspeople.
''Recent reports that have been pub-lished in regard to the question havoindicated that there is a bountyRiven for Australian coal for export.That is correct in part, but that bountydoes not apply to export to Now Zea-
land. The facts are that in August,1017, the railage rate in New SouthWales was Is 1 l-3d a ton, while byNovember, 1929, the rate had increasedto 3s sd, plus a charge of Sd harbourrate The Bavin Government has nowreduced the rate by Is 6d a ton, realis-ing that it was excessive in comparisonwith those on other commodities. Forinstance, the increase over the sameperiod as set out above, in the caseof wool was 50 per cent, to 70 per cent;,and that for wheat 60 per cent, to 66per cent. The increase in the coalfreight rate was equal to 207* per cent.With those figures it can readily beBeen that the Government is only re-ducing a rate which was obviously ex-COBSIVG
Many different bodies in New Zea-land are agitating for a duty on Aus-tralian coal, but such a policy mustnecessarily cause harm to New Zealand.Our timber industry wpuld certainly beaffected, as Australia would be forcedto reciprocate by placing a tariff wallagainst it. There is great justificationfor trying to make New Zealand self-supporting, but our export trade mustbe taken into consideration.
Australian Coal Dearer."The chief point, however, is that
even with the drop in Australian coalfreights in New South Wales, thismonth, its price in New Zealand is stillhigher than that of New Zealandbituminous coals, and on top of thatthere is the big difference in railagecharges. ,
"The position in regard to railwayrates is an anomaly even for New Zea-land coals alone, and the question mustbe answored as to why lignite andbrown coals are carried at a muchlower rate than bituminous coals. Tocnrrv the inferior coals 410 miles costs20s Bd, New Zealand bituminous overthe- saixe distance 34s 7d, and New-castle 39s 2d.
"Politicians have always advocatedassisting the farmer as much as pos-sible. Yet, in the case of coal, toget the cheap rate a farmer has toorder brown coals which disintegratewith keeping, while the better coalshe wants cost more in railage. Thesame is the1 position in inland towns,and it certainly seems that this dis-tribution of freights is penalising onesection and not another."
ACCIDENTS.
MRS LOCHHEAD'S DEATH.
INQUEST OPENED.
An inquest was opened yesterdayafternoon by the Coroner, Mr E. D.Mosley, into the death of MargaretLochhead, wife of Mr R. "W. Lochhead,of Westenfa terrace, Cashmere, whowas killed in a motor-car accident atthe corner of Madras and Canonstreets on Wednesday.
After evidence of identification hadbeen given by Mrs Lochhead's son.John Forsyth Lochhead, a farmer, orOmihi, the inquest was adjourned sinedie.
Mr C. S. Thomas appeared for S.Grieg, the driver of the omnibus con-cerned in the accident.
MOTOR-CYCLIST HURT.
Serious injuries were received by R.Parnham, a young man living at 15Norman's road, Pauanui, when themotor-cycle he was riding collided witha car at the intersection of Worcesterstreet and Montreal street yesterdaymorning.
The motor-cycle was travelling southalong Montreal street, and the car,which was driven by E. Hammond,was travelling east in Worcester street.The accident occurred at 7.55 a.m. Itis stated that Parnham was thrownoff his machine, and, in falling struckhis head against an electric light pole.
Parnham was admitted to theChristchurch Public Hospital at 8.10a.m. suffering from slight concussion,head injuries, and shock. Last nightit was reported that his condition wasstill serious.

NEW MANAGER.UNITED PBESS ' ASSOCIA-
TION.
TRIBUTES TO MR A. B. LANE.
Shortly Mr A. B. Lano, for many
years news editor of the Chnstchurch"Times" and "Star," will leave for Wel-lington to take up the position of man-ager of the Press Association, to which
he was appointed recently. Ho has been
in .Christcliurch for the last 22 years,
having come from .the Southland"Times » Invercargill, and Ins gteatpopularity was shown yesterday after-
noon when practically every journalistin Christchurch gathered in Ballantyne s
rooms to congratulate him and bid himfarewell.
Mr A. M. Burn.",, manager of theChristchurch Press Company, Ltd., pre-sided, representing also the Board _ofDirectors of the United Press Associa-tion.
A Coincidence."The appointment of Mr Lane has
attending it some verytorical facts," said Mr Burns. "The PressAssociation is just 50 years of! age. Itsfounder and first chairman of directors,curiously enough, was one of the stal-warts of the newspaper which Mr Laneis now leaving, the late Hon. WilliamBeeves, a man honoured in journalisticand political circles. He was the firstdirector and for the twelve followingyears chairman of directors. Mr Atack,whom 1 Mr Lane succeeds, occupied theposition of manager for nearly 45 years,leaving the "Times," of which he wassub-editor, to take up that appoint-ment. His tenure was a record in thenewspaper history of New Zealand, forhe held the office without change. Therehave been only three managers of thePress Association, which grew from a.very small concern to one of the prin-cipal news organisations of the world."
A Responsible Position.Very high tributes had been paid to
the output of the newspapers of NewZealand by visitors from overseas, saidMr Burns, and that was due, to a con-siderable extent, to the wonderfulorganisationbuilt up by the Press Asso-ciation in its coverage of-the world'snews. Mr Lane was called upon totake up the work as it stood at pres-ent, and it was one of the most re-sponsible positions in the profession inNew Zealand. It was, in many respects,much more difficult than editing or man-aging a newspaper, for its responsibil-ities were peculiar. The Board ofDirectors had not the slightest fear thatMr Lane would not carry on the highstandard of the past half century, andthey were quite convinced that thetraditions \*ere safe in his hands.
The appointment met with the ap-proval of all branches of the professionin New Zealand, continued Mr Burns,and it was very pleasing to the PressAssociation to see present such a largegathering of the men with whom thenew manager had worked for so manyyears. Mr Lane would carry with himthe very best- wishes of all the nowepapermen of Christchurch, particularly theChristchurch, press Co., for theoffice of the company was in Cashelstreet, Mr Lane was a member of thestaff. .;'■■•.. ''
"Ii convey t/a/Mx Lane, on behalf ofthis gathering, "the very best wishes fora' successful career,'' said Mr Burns,
newspapers of Christchurchregard- it as a high compliment that oneof ourselves should bo chosen for thejKJßitjlflO «£ manager of the Press Asso--ciatfctatbf New Zealand."
~ -r*-^jjj-ibutee'of Contemporaries.Mr J, H. Hall, editor of the "Sun,"
said that.,he was proud of the privilegeof following Mr Lane upon the staffsof the Times." The Pbism,and the "Sun." His name had alwaysbeen a tradition and his teachings werestill remembered. ''We feel that, thisis; a big tribute, not only to journal-ism in Christchurch, but in the wholeof; New Zealand," Mr Hall. ''Thebig jobs are sometimes inclined to goto men of only business experience, jour-nalistic ability being neglected. On thisoccasion, however, a very capable jour-nalist has been selected, aj»d we wishhim the very best success."
Mr H. McD. Vincent, news editor ofthe "Sun," said that he desired to addhis tribute to "that stern, but kindlyman who is the guest of this gather-ing." Jt was impossible, after workingwith .such. ja nrnn not to bo impressedby his capabilities as a master of hiscraft.' His "relations with the staffswith .whom. J)e had worked had alwaysbeen-most friendly, and all newspaper
Christchurch wished him thegreatest success in his new sphere,where: he would be of great service tojournalism.
Mr Oliver Duff, editor of The Pbbss,stated that Christchurch was losing avery efficient and. shrewd journalist, andhis departure" would be sincerely re-gretted by everyone. He wished MrLane all possible success in his newsphere. . .■ Mr H. W. L. Digby, of the editorialstaff of The Press said, that Mr Lanewould take with him the kindest feel-ings and the best wishes of all. Hetraced Mr I»ane J3 association with theChristchurch newspapers,, and remarkedthat when'the Press Association reachedits centenary "they would all be happyto-send him congratulations!"
A Unique Experience.
"Mr "Lane has'had the unique experi-ence of having for the threenewspaper companies of Christchurch,and we greatly appreciate the tributepaid to us when,iihe Press Associationhas chosen one-from our. number," saidMr H. Nixon, of the editorial staff ofthe "Times." No one doubted but thatMr Lane would be a great succesß inWellington, he added. Although hewas going north ■he would remain aScot.and a "southerner in every fibre."He would ,flnd a- happy memory in thefact- that practically the whole of thenewspaper
_men of Christchurch had
•gathered to do him honour.Mr Lane had always been very
kindly disposed to all his friends "onthe road," said Mr Andrew Burns,editor of the Christchurch "Star." Thegreatest friendships were made betweenmen on opposition newspapers for thereason that they were thrown togethermore than were men on thd'same staff.He had always enjoyed great popularity
i»ridtwou|dsbe 5be very sincerely? missed in jChristchurch. .!
"It appears that Mr Lane prefers toobey the dictum of the late Mr WilliamMassey, who * said, 'Go north, youngman.} go north,'" said Mr E. Aldridge,nuufageiTQf the "Times"'and "Star."He would find very good friends in theNorth Island, for he was undonbtedlvworthy of all the good tilings that hadbeen said about him. He would havethe pleasure, on his departure, of know-ing that he was revered by all his col-leagues.
Mr H. A. Gilbert, president of, theCanterbury Journalists' Association, of-fered Mr Lane congratulations on hisappointment. He had achieved one ofthe few "plums".in New .Zealand jour-nalism, and thoroughly deserved it.
Mr Lane's Beply.
In reply, Mr Lane said that he< feltthat a very great compliment had beenpaid to him; by the gathering .of so
fro* th**a*loua . offices.He felt a deep affection for all the jour-
nalißts of Christchurch. Ho -wouldgreatly regret leaving Christchurch,where he had made many warm personalfriends, and desired to eipresß his thanksfor the very kindly manner in whichbis appointment had been received.
UNEMPLOYMENT.ROTORUA'S EXPERIENCE.
AUTHORITIES CRITICISED.
(PRESS ASSOCIATION TELBGBAV.)
HAMILTON, June 12.Some remarks on the subject of un-
employment in his district were madebv Mr W. Hill, of Rotorua, at themeeting of the Waikato Hospital Boardto-day. In pointing out that threeschemes in the nature of unemploymentrelief—Rotorua-Taupo road, afforesta-tion, and baths—were taking place inand near Rotorua, Mr Hill said theauthorities in Auckland and elsewherewere freely and thoughtlessly sendingmen into the district irrespective ofwhether jobs were available for them.As a result the town had been invadedby unemployed, causing a strain on theresources of the Hospital Board's out-door relief fund. He had the greatestdifficulty in dealing with these cases,a large number of which came beforehim each day. He did his best forthem, at the same time guarding theinterests of the Board.
Some of the men. he said, were theusual imposters making a living at thegame, and adopting it as a profession,'thers had tramped long distances to
get to Rotorua. He had seen more thanone instance of men with their toessticking out of their boots. Many werewilling to work, but could not get it.Thev were hungrv and homeless. Onesimplv had to do something for them.Under the circumstances it was mostunfair of the Public Works Departmentand the Afforestation Department toattract men they could not employ im-mediately. They often kept pennilessmen waiting days, while they eptauthority to emplov them. This drainthrough outdoor relief meant a heavytax on the ratepayers, but he could notsee how it was to be avoided if onewas to exercise anv humanity at all.The end was not yet in siorht by anymeans, as men were still comingthrough in droves.
SCHEME FOR RELIEF. T*
(TRESS ASSOCIATION TILZOttAM.)
NEW PLYMOUTH. June 12.The New Plymouth Unemployment
Committee this morning decided to putinto operation a voluntary subscriptionscheme, which two years ago met withmuch success. Under the scheme anemployee makes a small donation week-ly, which is subsidised bv the employerand is further subsidised by the Gov-ernment.
The Minister-for Labour (the -Hon.S. G. Smith), who was present at themeeting, gave the scheme his full sup-
At present there are 98 unemployedon the committee's list, but 23 have re-cently been found work, reducing theactual number out of employment to75. Only three of these are singlemen.
MILITARY TRAINING.
ABOLITION OF TERRITORIALCAMPS APPROVED.
A keen discussion took place at theLeague of Nations Union Conferencein Timaru yesterday on the question ofthe abolition of the system of compul-sory military training, and after a long
debate it was decided to congratulatethe Government on abandoning Terri-torial camps.
The remits on thi* subject^were:Auckland: That the Dominion^Coun-
cil of the League of Nations Unionurge upon the Government to abolishthe compulsory clause in the Defence
Wellington: The conference regardswith much satisfaction the action of theGovernment in abandoning Territorialicamps and urges, it to complete thework in, every form of compulsory mili-tary training in the Dominion.
Mr Todd (Gisborne), who moved theremit on behalf of Auckland, thathe felt the difficulty of the position.There were two courses onen—theycould helo the League or admit thatwar was inevitable. ~ . .
Dr. James Gibb, the president, iaspeaking to the Wellington reniit, saidthat the executive of the Union hadbeen asked by one. if not two branches,to issue a pronouncement against mili-tary training, but it had been thoughtwiser to refer the matter to the Do-minion Conference. The PresbyterianChurch of New Zealand had op threeoccasions mode representations to theGovernment that military trainingshould be abolished. The difficulty wasthat there were no doubt many whole-hearted supporters of the league ofNations Union who did not disapproveof military training, but who evenapproved of, it. From the standpointof these people, and still more fromthat of a large section ofnity who were not represented by theUnion, he wondered whether it was awise thing to dogmatise on this matter.It was a little outside the provinceof the Union, and it might be that dis-cretion was the better part'of valour.(Hear, hear.) _ ,
Mr Todd said that in Gisborne therewere some very good officers in theDefence Department and the Terri-torial camps had been very successful:in fact; when the camps were abol-ished the boys had offered to pay theirown expenses if the camps could behold. The policy of each country toendeavour to effect its own defence wasimpossible, but now they had to trustin the League of Nations. ■ -
Mr R. M. Laing. who : eecdnded themotion, expressed the opinion that thepresent systom of Territorial trainingwas futile. For the past 20 years hehad urged that the organisationof landtroops in the Dominion was useless asa defence force. The Defence Depart-ment had now admitted that. MrLaing contended that the Cadet com-pany was the most detested i organisa-tion in the school. If discipline didnot develop self-control it Would notbenefit the boys at all. : From thepoint of view of discipline and physicaltraining the system had failed,
Mr A.E. Featherstone said that tbaSouthland branch was unanimously ofthe opinion that the Union should takeno action in this question.
Mr Manning (Christchurch) saidthat the Government was waiting fora lead from the people of New Zea-land in connexion with the defenceSystem. Camps were.a moral crime inthe coiintrv. He would support theresolution—he had faith in the ulti-mate principle for which the League
. The Rev. H. E. Bellhouse said thatin Dunedin they felt strongly that theUnion, as a non-political body, shouldtake no action in this matter.
Considerable discussion followed. MrTodd subsequently withdrew the Auck-land remit, and that proposed by thepresident was carried by 21 votes to 8.
The Conference also adopted the fol-lowing Auckland remit: —
That the Dominion Council beasked to urge upon branches of theUnion the consideration of a substi-tute for military, training amongyouths and the pupils of the secondaryschools.
LEAGUE OF NATIONSUNION.
ANNUAL' CONFERENCE.
The annual conference of the League
of Nations Union of Now Zealand wascontinued in Timaru yesterday, tho
president. (Dr. James Gibb) occupyingthe chair.
The Eev. P. G. Hughes moved: "Thatthe conference urges upon the branchesthe desirability of forming -juniorbranches of the League of NationsUnion, and asks the Dominion Execu-tive to enquire into the possibility of
promoting this movement by enlistingthe sympathy of the teachers in all tne
schools of the Dominion.Mr B. M. Laing (Christchurch) sec-
onded the motion.The Eev. Mr Hughes said that an
appeal should be made to the childrennot only through the intellect but alsothrough the imagination. He wouwlike to see the establishment of yputlisections such as existed in the OldCountry. They must get the co-opera-tion of the school teachers and he. be-
lieved that the • majority were com-
plotely sympathetic. If the educationauthorities permitted it he was surethe teachers would be only too willingto co-operate in the matter. To leavematters entirely with the authoritieswould be fatal. They must do some-thing to get the subject of the League'swork in the school curriculum. Branchesof the Union should be formed in bothprimary and secondary schools. If theygot the school children interested theparents would also show interest in theLeague's work.
Mr Manning (Christchurch) contend-ed that the best method of spreadingtho League propaganda was through theteachers and not directly through thechildren.
Mrs B. H. Low suggested that theteachers should be approached throughthe training colleges.
Mr A. Burn said that an effort shouldbe made to place the League's maps inthe schools of the larger centres.
The motion was carried unanimously.
Other Remits.The following remits were adopted:—Dominion President: The Conference,
realising that the imperative need ofthe Union in New Zealand is a great-ly-increased membership, urges thebranches, without delay, to embark ona crusade to add to the number oftheir own members, and to form newbranches wherever possible.
Auckland: That each year a << Leagueof Nations Day" be organised through-out New Zealand, when each townwould be approached and asked to co-op-erate in an active campaign for build-ing up the peace mind and the outlawryof war.
Auckland: That the Dominion Execu-tive Council ask Miss Dora West ifshe would consent to visit all centresand groups (travelling expenses paid)with a view to stirring up interest inLeague aims and activities.
Wellington: That all branches of theUnion, during the course of the nextyear, make an organised canvass ofmembers of all the churches and simi-lar bodies in their vicinity, either bydirect deputation or by enlisting theministers or other leaders as agents inthe enrolment of new members.
That the branches be recommended toapproach Women's Institutes, Leaguesof Mothers, and similar organisations,with a view to inducing them to linkup with the League of Nations Union,either ■ as corporate bodies or throughindividual members.
Auckland: That all branches shouldsend a delegation to every conferenceheld in their centre, by churches, econ-omists, business men, and others, to asktheir active interest in constructivework for peace.
That the branches should aim atstarting "Youth Sections'" "of' -the
League of Nations Union, through Pressannouncements, work in schools, gramo-phone records for teachers in country'schools.
Duncdin: That the executive takeinto consideration the possibility ofencouraging the "affiliation" and "cor-porate membership" of industrial orga-nisations on the lines suggested in thereport of the Otagb branch, founded onthe circular prepared by the BritishLeague of Nations Union, and to reportto nest year's conference.
Dominion President: That the confer-,erice relies on the Government to do allin their power to promote the educationof youth in the aims and work of theLeague of Nations, in accordance withthe recommendations of the Union's re-cent deputation to the ParliamentaryCommittee on education.
Auckland: That members, when re-moving elsewhere, be transferred offi-cially, to the new centre or the near-est branch of the League of NationsUnion.
Dominion President: That a Leagueof Nations Day. be organised on. theSunday immediately preceding the open-ing of the Geneva Assembly on thefirst Monday in September, when ser-mons should be preached on interna-tional peace, and that public meeting!be organised by branches after thechurch meetings, on the same* day.

ter sunshine. "It beats anything mostof us have seen," remarked one of thevisitors. .

THE TRIAL MATCH.
(SPECIAL TO TJU rEBSS.)
TIMARU, June 13.The trial, match for the selection of the
combined North Otago-South Oanterbriry-Ash-burton team to play the British team atTimaru on June" 28th was played on theTeinuka Domain before a large attendance to-day. The ground was slippery.- Both for-ward packs worked hard, and although thePossibles' backs handled nicely at timestheir efforts did not seem to lead, them any-where. Most of the scoring was the resultof individual efforts. At the outset the hon-ours in the match were divided, until theback line of the Possibles got into action andGaffaney (South Canterbury), who took apass and short-punted past the opposition,ran through to take the ball on the full.Within a point of scoring he was taken byGrainger (North Otago). Play remainedwithin bounds for some time, after which theProbables turned the tables with a backmovement on the part of Neutie (South Can-terbury) and Stephens, (Ashburton). Theball was carried into 'the territory of thePossibles who were compelled to force. Thelatter, whose backs were getting the largershare of the ball, came again, and fromplay in mid-field Trevathan (North Otago)got possession and mado an excellent directrun to the goal, but was grassed -within anace of his objective. Day (Ashburton), whofollowed up closely, picked up and divedover, Strang (South Canterbury) converted.Possibles 5, Probables nil. The Probables,seeking for revenge, took 'a turn at the at-tackj and : their opponents sought rolief ina force. Mulhern had an unsuccessful pen-alty kick at goal. Up to this stage thcrowas naturally very little, co-operation oneither side, and line-kicking featured' theplay. The work in the scrums was not verycpnvncing, although' the Possibles showed thebetter tendency to let the ball out. Up tohalf-time there was nothing impressive aboutthe play of either side, although the passingof the Possible backs was good at times.
On the resumption, J. Farr (Ashburton)replaced J. Callanan (South Canterbury) andR. Hollow (North Otago) replaced G. Murray(South Canterbury) in the Probables. Both >sides put more vigour into the match. ,J.Mulhern (Ashburton) lifted from play nearmid-field and dashed for the line, to score
I after evading several of the opposition.Giddings failed with the kick. Possibles 8,Probables nil. After the kick-off, Probablesbustled the game, and the ball was kickedout to the left wing. Trotter (South Canter-bury) picked up neatly and dived over.Strang did not convert. Possibles 8, Prob-ables -3. J. Connolly (South Canterbury)and D; Callanan< (South Canterbury) changedsides. In the position of half-back Strangwas more than a mark for P. Roper (SouthCanterbury) on the opposite side. Trevathancut in nicely at, times, but often spoilt thecontinuity of the back line. On the oppositeBide he had a match in Todd, who did notget many good opportunities to show himselfto advantage, but excelled in clean tackling.Wills (North Otago), who showed up promi-nently in the • loose, got possession in .thePossibles' twenty-five and put in a good runfor the line, his effort culminating in a scoreFarr (Ashburton) evened up the points,making the score: Possibles 8, Probables 8.Day, who was troubled by a previous injuryand handled securely during the match, re-tired, and was replaced by Blyth (SouthCanterbury). Ross (North Otago) and Trot-ter were probably the choice of the wings,
■although Stephens (Ashburton) developedgreat determination and allowed little to passhim. L. Connolly (South Canterbury) pre-sented a very calm front at full-back, andshowed good judgment in finding the line.Play surged up and down the field, most ofthe work being done by the forwards. Trot-ter made two good attempts to get away downthe line, but was too securely marked.Trevathan (Ntfrth Otago) picked np from amelee and wormed his way, through to scorein fine style. Strang converted. Possibles13, Probables 8. There was no alterationin the score at the call of time.
One of the most outstanding forwards onthe field was 0. Whiting (Ashburton), whoplayed at wing-forward and was always onthe-ball and initiated passing movements. < AClarke (North Otago), who was at the backof the scrum, and S. Wills (North Otago)accounted for a great deal of hard work inthe tight. J. Mnlhern (Ashburton) cameto light early in the match and played con-sistently throughout. In the Possibles for-wards, H. Coxhead (South Canterbury)figured with A. McOormick (Ashburton) inthe tight work and line-outs, while 0.. Paw-son and G. Dalton (Ashburton) shone m theloose. .

TEST MATCHCROWD.
LANCASTER PARKARRANGEMENTS.
BOARD DISCUSSES • PLANS.
There was .an attendance of 25,330people ai the match between theBritish Rugby team and the Canter-bury team at Lancaster Park lastSaturday, and the members of theLancaster Park Board of Control areof the opinion that, by providing asystem of "races" to guide the patronsof. the embankment and the employ-ment of "packers" to see that all avail-able space is filled, room will be foundfor another 3000 at the second Test.
It was decided to instruct the GroundCommittee to put in five races on theembankment at last night's meeting ofthe Board.
Handling the Crowd."After all our endeavours we did
not accommodate as many people aSwe could have done," said Mr A. E.McPhail (chairman). "Another 2000or', 3000 could have been provided foron the embankment. More men willbe needed to handle the crowd. It hasbeen suggested that a pathway on theterraces would accommodate manymore people.
The secretary (Mr J. 0. McGilli-vray): The trouble is that the peoplewalk along about ten yards and thenstop.
Mr C. S. McCully: We had no oneto guide the people and pack them onthe bank.
Mr McPhail: It is like a theatre.The ushers can do nothing if theavenues.are blocked.
Mr McCully: The embankment shouldbe arranged in bays or blocks, and Irecommend, three subways of postswith iron or wooden rails, the rails tobe fairly binh and to act as guides.
Supervision Needed.Mr J. K. Moloney: Supervision by
men "packers" is needed. The spacefrom the rail to the fence was as fullas it could have been. Just before thebig game hundreds of people sat down.If we can solve the problem of thebank we can accommodate the fullcrowd for the second Test.
Mr MoPhail: We think we will havea much larger crowd than we had lastSaturday.
Mr J. K. Moloney: We could accom-modate 3000 more if they were properlypacked.
Mr McGilUvray: The best thing todo is to put races in and make an-other pathway. If a man comes earlyand selects a position in the front orthe middle you cannot move him.Guides could be used and the late-comers will have to be "packed."
Mr W. L. King suggested reducingthe size of the steps so that only oneperson could stand on them. That, hesaid, would do aWay with packing.The rises could be made half the widthand half the height.
Open Seating Suggested.
Mr McPhail: I doubt if some of thepeople saw much of the match. Shortpeople standing at the back of thecrowd at the top of the bauk had verylittle chance.
Mr W. H. Simpson moved that theGround Committee be instructed toput in five races on the embankmentand engage a sufficient number of pack-ers for the second Test. The motionwas carried.
Mr C. S. Thompson said that thepeople ivlio paid 5s 6d for the embank-ment were entitled to some considera-tion in the matter of accommodation.
Mr McCully: Open seating mustcome some time.
Mr Thompson: We should give ascomfortable seating for as many peopleas possible.
Mr Moloney moved that the bank..should be "stepped" with rises ofjarrah timber, and the motion wascarried.

WOMEN'S CORNER.(CONTINUED.)
THE CLAIMS OFWOMEN.
SPECIAL FIELDS OF SERVICE.
"There is no great need for thewomen's movement to bother aboutthe condition of the roads," eaid MissC. K. Henderson, in addressing thewomen's branch of the ChristchurchCitizens' Association last evening.
"Every man and every boy is eithera motorist or a potential motorist, andthey will look after the roads and allthings connected with them. Many
other things also men can bo countedon to attend to, and a number of themthey can do far better than women can.
"But women can attend to the con*ditions of life in their city, and if theliving conditions are not good, theseother points do not matter to them,
ihere is great need for investigationof many social defects in all our cities,and much of this work can best bedone by women.
"Within the past week, quite a num-ber of lads under the ago of 21 haveappeared before the Courts on variouscharges. These things do not just hap*pen, there must be a cause for them.v\hy do they go astray, and why doesthe fate of others have no effect onthem P There must be something wrongin the life of the City, and an investi-gation is needed. Such a work couldwell be taken by such an organisationof women as this.
"Another point that could be inves-tigated concerns the conditions of workof the numbers of young girls whomake their living in the City. Thereshould also be a woman sanitary in-spector. The housewife should not beneglected, for she heeds to work ingood surroundings, just as much asany other. The houses people live inhave a tremendous effect on them, andthe housewife is most concerned in thismatter. .
"There may be no slums in Chrjst-church, but there are certainly slumhouses, although they are not congre-gated together sufficiently to form aslum area. Further investigation herewould do much good. There are plentyof serious problems affecting the lifeof the City and the country crying. foryour attention, and as organisedwomen citizens you can do invaluableservice."
Miss Henderson also made referenceto the work that could be done bywntching conditions ns revealed at theCourts; in general education of publicopinion, by wntching the films and ad-vising as to their suitability for chil-dren; by endeavouring to obtain morerigid control of dance halls, and bvurging the employment of womenpolice. Throughout her address shestressed the fart that women, were nottrying to do what men could do, butwere urging that their claims to ren*der service where they alone could giveit should be recognised.
SKATING CARNIVAL.
PLUNKET SOCIETY BENEFITS.
The fancy dress Bkating carnival inajd of the Plunket Society,'* which waifheld last evening, was a magnificentSuccess. The Olympla skating rink,which had been kindly lent by Mr A.Tubert, was taxed to its utmost toaccommodate an attendance of wellover 300, and it bore, a festive appear*anee as the mass of skaters whirledaround dressed in costumes, somedainty, some fearsome, some bizarre,but all adding to the gaiety of thescene. Besides those skaters therewas a great number of spectatorspresent.
It is eertain that the Society willbenefit considerably as a result of thiscarnival, and Us success was a greattribute to the energetic committee whoorganised it. Mrs N. Chamberlain andMiss Nancy Matheson were the hostess-es and organisers, and were kept verybusy during the evening meeting theguests and serving supper.
ST. SAVIOUR'S ORPHANAGES
A very representative gathering of[ those interested in the welfare of St.Saviour's Orphanages was held atChurch House yesterday afternoon, MrH. G. Livingstone, the convener of themeeting, acting as chairman.
Mr Livingstone, in explaining theobject of the meeting, said that, owingto general financial stringency, thecommittee of St. Saviour's Guild werefinding that donations were not beingreceived as freely as was necessary.He stressed the sad but undeniable factthat a slump in business circles was atwo-edged sword sorely woundingcharitable institutions, for in times ofstress more poor and .homeless chil-dren were thrown upon the care of theorphanages; and at the same timetheir sympathisers were unable to giveas generously as in normal times-These «rere facts that must be faced.Mr Livingstone said that the St.Saviour's Market, held last year toliquidate the existing debt, had beena record suocass, and the promotersbad not intended making a similarappeal to the public this year; butfunds were urgently needed .and theGuild Committee thought that theyshould avail themselves of any goodmeans pf raising money. Many whocould not give money would gladlywork for the orphanages and some hadalready volunteered to assist at a mar-ket or similar function.
The suggestion to hold a market wasreceived by the meeting with enthu-siasm, and. it was decided that it beheld in the Art Gallery on October Ist,2nd. and 3rd.

The usual fortnightly meeting of theChristchurch branch of the W.C.T.U.was held on Wednesday. Miss Bender-son presided. Apologies were receivedfrom Misses Jordon, Sargent, andJewell. A letter of sympathy in herillness was sent to Mrs Hoddinott.
Temperance Pacts were read by M*«Wicks, maintaining that one glass ofbeer lessened a man's powers of per*ccption and intellect; and also that theHon. Lloyd George has voiced his opin*ion that the drink traffic is the great*est and cruellest enemy of the humanrace.
Correspondence was read fromthe secretary of the Christchurch,Y.W.C.A., thanking the members whohad assisted on their street collectionday and asking all members to tell anylonely girls of the advantages of theirrest rooms and cafeterias.

Harband), asking forgifts for their apron, bag, and handker-chief stall at the spring fair, to be heldin September, in aid of our forwardmovement, Members were reminded ofthe jumble sale to be held in July.
Through the kindness of the presi-dent of the Dover Union, Jersey,U.S.A., the president was able to dis-tribute literature showing the greatsuccess of Prohibition in America. Areport of successful work in connexionwith isolated women in the backblockswas given by the superintendent, MissBlackwell, who asked that namesmight be given her to whom all avail-able literature could be sent.
The president read some interestingextracts regarding temperance work in.Glasgow, where as well as W.C.T.Unions, different Presbyterian churchesorganise their own temperance unionsand do all they can to enrol women andgirls to the cause, for they realisethat much depends upon the workof womt-n workers. Miss Hendersonspoke of the splendid work done inthe Dominion by the organisers, theMisses McLay, particularly Miss Kath-leen McLay. who is indefatigable inher work among girls and boys in fac-tories, Bible classes, Y.M.C.A., etc.Members were reminded that the nextmeeting will be "White Kibbon" Day,when an address will be given Therewill be a bring and buv sale t and »

NOTES OF THE DAY.
(By ''Flagsfcick'"} .
The dates appointed.by tlie Council•f the N.Z.G.A. for this .year's cham-pionships (ladies' at Heretaunga fromOctober 16th to October 23rd, in-clusive; men's at Hokowhitu, Palmer-•ton North, Octoberdubive) "ill be generally approved.Tn the first place, intending competi-tors will have time to take* part in theclosing fixtures 'of eliib's winter pro-grammes, and better opportunities fortuniug-up practice as the hours of day-light increase, and. second, the laterdate gives the courses a chance to re-cover from the sodden conditions that•re apt to obtain after a wet winter(both courses being laid out on heavyland), and also ensures quicker re-covery from any downpours that mayoccur during the progress of the cham-pionship events. Further, the green-keepers will have better opportunitiesto show their skill in maintaining thecourses in their best condition, and inStandardising the pace of the greens.
There mav be some who, on accountof the extension of time required, donot welcome the Council's decision tohive all th«» matches over 36 holes, butthere can be no doubt that the longercoarse is the fairer test of golfingability. To take a recent example T.H. Horton, who qualified easily firstin the Manawatu Club's -tournamentthis Tear, was beaten, in the secondround of match play by A. E. Ekstedt.Horton at a critical stage missed twopotts of six feet, and his opponent hadthe luck to get three long ones down;ftera was no chance of recovery from,•oca jolts in an 18-hole match. Simi-lar examples will occur to every golferof experience. On thf other hand Ber-nard'Darwin, one 6t the selectors ofthe Walker Cup team andjoiht authorwith George Duncan of "Present DayGolf," 'writing in "Country Life''looks at the question from the pointof view of "David" rather •• than"Goliath"; he would not vote for 36-fcole trials, because the weaker playerwould play with the certainty ai beingoverweighted, and much" of the. sport-iag element .of .the game would begone*
Of all our recent visitors perhapsnone impressed more by his sportsman-like attributes, Ma golfing;ability, andMs modesty of demeanour than theyoung Manly player, S. A. Keane, whosewinin the Queensland Amateur cham-pionship, where he defeated NigelSmith in. the final, and more recentlyIn the amateur foursomes championshipof Ills State must have been noted withpleasure by the many friends he made,is New Zealand. In.the latter event,Keane and Ms partner, Thompson,eeHpeed all previous foursomes perform-ances with a round of CB—the first+ym» 70 had been broken in /these con-tests. The success of the pair was theson striking because they had, appar-ently, no previous practice together.Their afternoon round of 76 made theiraggregate 144, six strokes better thanHattersley and Hore, who, with ISO<7sv 75) wera *°e *mmers-up. Keane'aflue reeord in these events is the moregratifying if it implies, as is to beHoped, thathehas conqueredthe distres-sing nervous affection which overtookaimin Christchurch—a trick ofclutchingand nnelntebing his hands before set-fling them finally in position on theelan. - One isreminded of the somewhatandlar seizure whieh bothered HarryTardea for many years, even when hewas'almost at the peak of his. career,and whieh caused him great annoyance-Bad distress—a twitch of the righthand that completely upset his shortputts, often sending his ball well off theline and far from the hole. Fortunatelyfor the champion his next putt general-ly found the cup.
The Bawhiti Club, whose course isthe Municipal Links, New Brighton,having made application, has been ad-mitted to membership in the New Zea-land Golf Association. A golfing friendwho has been visiting the new linksrecently informs me that improvementsare being steadily effected, and that be-fore long the week-end attendances, al-ready large, bid fair to tax the capacityef the course to the utmost. A much-Seeded improvement lately made is theremoval of the sandy mound in frontof the second green, making this holeso longer a "blind" one, and, remov-ing the danger of players being hit onthe green. As is the ease on many pub-lie courses golfing etiquette is not toowell observed; and the committee of theBawbiti Club have their work cut outto ensure the maintenance of a goodstandard of'golfing manners among play-en on these links. Where short holesare so numerous it will not be surpris-ing ■if holes-in-one are frequently ' ac-complished, and. already two have beenreported. The latest is by J. L. Lind-eay. who, after1 only three weeks' play,and on his third visit to the course,holed his tee-shot at The Grotto,ISO yards. The Bawhiti Club's secretaryis J. E. Gudgeon, care Bank of NowZealand, Christchurch.
Tlie committee of Busstey Links havedeeided that tbo handsome silver cleok,
.lately presented by F. C. Fairclough,will be known as the Bussloy Cleek,•ndrfs to be the trophy for a mixedfour-ball bogey handicap, to be com-peted for in September. The popularcaptain and secretary of. this club, H.P. PcnJington and W. W. Gudgeon, haveehown that they can combine well ontbo links, as well as in the management•f the club's affairs, by heading the list•f competitors in last week's■with a score of 5 up. Two long-handi-cap players*, T. S. Harris and A. J.Borgfeldt were also 5 up in the same•vent.
The visit of the Australian teams isrecalled by the recent play-off of thetie in the Australasian Handicap, when1,. J.: Taylor won from M. Macbeth,with » fine 79, which gave him a netscore of 72. The winner used his eyesto some advantage during the Pro-fessionals' Tournament at JJussley, andever since his putting, modelled onthat of A. I. Shaw, has been very con-vincing. Hi 3 tee-shots have plenty of'■punch" behind them, and in conse-quence have good boring power up-wind, but often stray into the rough onthe loft; most of his game, however,is sound, and better things yet maybe expected from him.
Some improvements to the Harewoodcourse are to be put in hand shortly,notably the re-turfing of the ap-proaches to Nos. 2, 4, and 17, whichhave been rather bumpy. Turf for thepurpose will be taken from the presentNo. 5, where the new green will soonbe permanently in use. The greens atHarewood are playing beautifully justnow, and much interesting play is pro-ceedinn; in the match rounds for theBlank Cup and Ward Cup. The playfor the former has reached the fiftliround, one game in which saw the de-feat of the promising young player, J.C. Ward, by his uncle, G. W. Ward,who had an allowance of three strokes.The winner will next meet his brother,Cyril, if the latter survives his nextround. Apparently a hail of "Ward"nt tho Harewood clubhouse would be•is sure of a response as would be ashout of ''Mac" down an engine-roomladder—there being altogether eightWards on the membership list, withthe sexes equally represented. In thefirst round of the Ward Cup, A. H.Shanks, who was low down on thequalifying list, effected a surprise bybeating C. J. McFadden, who ha* beenshaping very well of late, by two upand one.
At Hagley, the greens superintend-ent, F. C. Malpae, has been successfulin keeping this crowded course in goodplaying order, though the use of thoheavy roller, necessitated by the rav-ages of the grass-grub, has tended todiminish tho life of the grass of thegreens, making the putting on the un-dulating surfaces a matter of very nicecalculation. A player who has had anastonishing run of successes is C. H.Johnstone, whose handicap has beenreduced already from 22 to 13, andmay yet, to all appearance, need fur-ther pruning. Last year he was run-ner-up in the club's junior champion-ship to M'. N. Rogers—who, by theway, has also kept the handicappersbnsy and is .now playing on 141—andit is quite possible that this season hewill figure prominently in the seniorevent, as well as in the competitionfor the Meares' Cup, in which he hasmade a good 'start with a win by 6 upand 5.

TAKAPUNA MAN'S DEATH.i
(rasas assooiatioh tjlegjiau.)
AUCKLAND, June 12."He feared the charge you were en-
quiring into. It was suicide by gaspoisoning." This was the verdict ofthe Coroner, Mr F. K. Hunt, at theinquest held this afternoon into thedeath of William Patrick Lennox, aged47, of Takapuna, who was found deadin the kitchen of his home on JuneIst.
Robert Shaw, a neighbour of Len-nox, said that in view of a complaintmade by his wife about Lennox, hewent to Lennox's house on the after-noon of May 31st. The blinds werepulled down and the house was lockedup. There was a smell of gas aboutthe place.

THEFT CHARGES.—■-—�
BICYCLES AND AN OVERCOAT.
On three charges of stealing bicycles,one of stealing tyres and tubes, and afurther charge of stealing an overcoat,Bonald Bertie Moher, a painter, aged23, appeared in the Magistrate's Courtbefore Mr E. D. Mosley, S.M., yester-day. He pleaded guilty to the bicyclecharges but not to the other charges.
Chief-Detective J. Carroll asked thatMoher be remanded for a week on thecharge of stealing the tyres and tubes.The remand was granted.
John Lancelot Bichards, a machinist,of New Brighton, said that on April14th he left his bicycle outside theSkating Rink in Dundas street. Whenhe returned later it was missing.
That he left his bicycle outsidePullers' New Opera House at 2 p.m.on May loth, was the testimony ofFrederick Charles Webb, aged 14, ofWoolston. At 5 o 'clock he went to findit, and it had disappeared.
Clifford Scott, a motor-driver, alsoleft his bicycle outside the Dundasstreet Skating Rink, and returned tofind that it was gone., A number of whole bicycles, and agreat many parts of bicycles were pro-duced in Court, and the three preced-ing witnesses identified their machinesand the, parts of their machines.
Arthur Thomas Meikle, a labourer,of 24 Matheson's road, said ho hadknown accused for a fairly long time.One day accused met him, and askedhim to drive him in his car to NewBrighton, to a bicycle shop there. Ac-cused had a bicycle with him, whichwitness identified as being one of thosein Court. Witness saw accused takethe machine into the shop, and he cameout without it. Later witness againdrove accused to New Brighton, withanother bicycle. On a further occasionhe drove accused to a fish shop, whereaccused got out of the car and tooka bicycle from the yard. Witness wastold by accused that he sold thisbicycle on a time xpayment agreement,and his customer had failed to keep
up the payments, therefore he wastaking the bicycle away.
Evidence to corroborate the previouswitnesses was given by a cycle-dealer,of Seaview road, New Brighton. Ac-cused had sold bicycles to him, withvarious explanations of how ho cameby them.
Moher at first pleaded not guilty, butoventually altered his plea to guilty.
The charge of stealing the overcoatwas then taken.
Three brothers named Meikle, of 24Matheson's road, one of whom was onlyeight years of age, gave evidence.Their statements were similar, and wereto show that the prisoner had gone toa dance at the Scottish Society's hallone Saturday night, and had announcedhis intention of "getting down onsomebody's overcoat." At tho con-clusion of the evening Moher was seenwith a different coat from the one hehad worn when he entered the hall. Thesmall boy testified that Moher hadlater asked him to take the coat to asecond-hand dealer, and sell it for him.He refused.
Acting-Detective Halerow said thaton May 28th.he went to accused's home,and from his room recovered a coat—-the one produced in Court. Accusedhad then said that the coat had beei?lent to him one wet night by a manwhose name and address he did notknow, but who, he believed, lived inthe St. Albans district.
Answering the Magistrate, Moheragain affirmed that-he was not a thief,but only an unwitting receiver of thpovercoat. • He pleaded not guilty, andwas committed to the Supreme Courtfor trial.

• LEBSON6 FSOSI PAST WOOL CYCLES.'*i>uring the fifteen years tueceding 1886
the ptoduetion of wool tremendous.y increasedift the Southern Hemisphere. The Australianclip almost doubled, and there ware I»iS<>increases Jn the production of woo) in BouJiAmerica and South Africa. Dunns thatperiod the flock* in the Northern Hemispheret.:trm than held their own. The increase inwool production a!l over the world, but princfpally tn the Southern Hemisphere, fromHJO 10 JBOS, not only resulted in a produc-tion of wool in excess of what the popula-tion of the wool-using countries of tho worldcauld currently consume, but rosulted in a*.•»!« of prices which made wool-growing un-prentabio in tho Northern Hemisphere in thoJaßO's and reduced the profit in the SouthernHemisphere to the vanishing point. It woaia the midst o£ this period ot the lowestj>ri<ae« ever known for wool in the other mar-hn* of the world that Congress took tho.American tariff off wool and threw open ther&arkwu ot tho United States at a timo whent.-001 prices in foreign markets wero lowerthan they had over been before or have ever
keen fcince. As a result wool-growing iu thoUnited States during tho period from 1892to I.OOG fell into the depths.
This flood of cheap wool from th>j SouthernHemisphere in the 18»0's materially reducodthe production of wool oil over tho .Northern.Hemisphere, and, coupled with free trade iuvssl, reduced the c\\y of the United Statesfcy nearly one-third.
BOTTOM FALLS OUT.However, for several ycara between ISO'J
•nd 1895 the world undoubtedly producedraore wool each year than was currently cou-fnoted. A very largo surplus of wool eamainto existence by the time 1895 was reached,*ni the bottom fell oat of the wool market.Titer* probably was accumulated at least onethousand mi.lion pounds of surplus wooi—andI>3" surpius is meant that excess quantityover and above the usual quantity of wool•'ways seeded conveniently to carry on thebusiness of wool manufacturing.
The world as a whole from 1895 onwardconsumed its current production of wool, andin Co* way or another tho surplus of wool%itieh glutted the world's markets in 1595-1»&£»•!BS>7 was reduced to such small :r)por.tiona that during th« period immediately pre-ceding the war, 1910 to 1914, there not onlyvis no glut of wool iu the world's marmots,tut the surplus stork, if any existed, was noemail as not to prevent • slow but gradualincrease in prica during that period, 1910-J914. This Is a fairly good proof that from3t9» to 1914 the world consumption of woolwaa, on the average, a little greater each}Mr than the production.
Otherwise, one cannot account for the dis-appearance of the surplus wool which undoubt-edly existed In 1895, and the gradual but■toady advance in the price of wool in theworld's wool markets between 1895 and 1914.Further, at the outbreak of the war the con-sumption of wool in tho world had gone asclose to the shoep'c back as wan comfortable.In other words, stocks in dealers' and manu-facturers' bands were at A minimum, to say•diking of supplies on retailers' shelves.
GERMANY'S OUTJS MOVE.IHjring the period of the war another great
•urpiue of wool was accumulated, not be-etuae there had been any increase in theproduction of wool, but first, because tlin6**»t bulk of the wool-using machinery ofContinental Karopo was within the Germaulines which were blockaded, and, secondly,t)#eau*e an insufficient number of ships wasavailable to move the clip of the Southernlitmiiphere to the United States and totiKjse woo'-esing districts of Europe locatedoutside the Gorman lines.The high price of wool during the war ivasa>nt die to any lack of wool in the world,*w»r even to the enormous use of wool for mili-tary purposes. It was caused almost entirelyby the lack of ships to transport the clip ofthe Southern Hemisphere to the wool-manu-facturing districts of North America, and thecountries of the Entente.
There was in November, 1918, the equiva-lent of a whole year's world's wool clip un-n»ed, with the clip of 1918 just beginning toMove oat of the Southern Hemisphere, andtoe shearing of the 1919 clip of the NorthernHemisphere only Ave or six months away. Iu•titer words, the quantity of wool in theworld available for consumption during thoworld's wool clip, or between five and sixbillion pounds of wool.
BVGLANO'S WOOL POSSESSIONS.sß*h, portion of this wool as could be con-
■Uered surplus, of course, was very much
the conditions surrounding it were quite
First, • Tory considerable portion of itbelonged to the BriUfh and United Statestioreraments, and especially the wool owned*""" tfee British . Government wee fed out tomarket as tbe market could absorb it over• parted ol sews) years. Second, while theenrplaf of wool waa" very large, on the otherband a very-large portion of Europe was abfb-fetoljr bara not only of wool bat of woolclothing. In all other countries of the North-asm Hemisphere tba stocks of wbol clothingfit tba nana* of thedistributors and consumers*«ra ettr low, a* the wool machinery of the•eoetrics of the Northern Hemisphere outsideet the Oennan blockade had been largely en-sated daring the preceding four years inmanufacturing for military purposes.
The United States entered the 1919-34period with a whole year's extra production•/ wool, but with bare shelves and bareeloiet* all over the world. In spite, how-war, of the small stock of goods at the be-finning of 10111, wool prices crashed in the•print of 1930, largely because the worldeotild not in times of peac afford to pay�ar famine prices for woollen clothing.
